Club England - Young Lions learn Euro fate

England will travel to Croatia next March to take on the host nation, Norway and Portugal in the Second Qualifying Round for this season’s UEFA European Women’s U19 Championship.

The Group 4 games will take place between 31 March and 5 April 2011 with the top-placed nation making it through to the Finals, which will be staged in Italy in May.

Mo Marley’s side made it through to this stage by beating Moldova (4-0), Armenia (9-0) and Finland (2-0) in the initial qualifying phase. In preparation for the Second Qualifying Round, England will take on the current European champions, France, on Thursday at Sixfields Stadium, home of Northampton Town FC.

The draw for the opening round of next season’s Euros was also made last week and England have been handed a bye to the Second Round, courtesy of their coefficient ranking.

Meanwhile, Lois Fidler’s England Women’s U17 side have been drawn against Iceland, Sweden and Poland (hosts) in their Second Qualifying Round and those matches will take place between 9 and 14 April 2011.
