Wales to face Uruguay in Nations Cup 2 semi-final

Wales finished second in their pool after the loss to France

Wales women will face Uruguay in the inaugural FIH Women's Nations Cup 2 semi-finals and can finish no lower than fourth in Poland.

That is despite Wales losing their final Pool B game 2-1 against France.

France broke the deadlock before half-time through Ines Lardeur, before Yohanna Lhopital doubled their lead in the third quarter.

Lily Roberts clawed a goal back for Wales through a penalty corner in the 39th minute, but France held out to top the group.

Both sides were unbeaten coming into the match, with Wales having drawn their opening game against Italy and defeated the Czech Republic on Tuesday.

The result means Wales finished their group in second, defeating Italy on goal difference and progress into Saturday's semi-final, which starts at 15:30 BST.

France will take on Poland in the day's second semi-final (17:45 BST), while Uruguay topped Pool A after beating Malaysia 4-2 in their final group game.
