Wales' women claim first Nations Cup win

Beth Peers made her Wales debut in the opening game against Italy on Monday

Wales' women claimed their first victory at the inaugural FIH Women's Nations Cup 2 in Poland with a hard-fought 2-0 win against Czech Republic.

In head coach Kevin Johnson's 100th game in charge, the first period finished goalless before captain Beth Bingham put Wales ahead from a penalty corner midway through the second quarter.

Substitute Beth Peers, winning only her second cap, then added to the goal she scored in the opening 3-3 draw against Italy, doubling Wales' lead with six minutes remaining.

The victory puts Johnson's side second in Pool B on four points.

France, who are yet to concede a goal and top the group with six points after beating Italy 4-0 on Tuesday, are Wales' final opponents in the pool stage on Thursday.
