Last updated : 20 May 2008 By Stray Shots Team
Shots stars Ben harding and Lewis Chalmers started for England C tonight in their 1-0 win over Gibraltar in the Four Nations Tournament.
The England C team began their campaign in The Four Nations Tournament in North Wales on Tuesday evening, with their opening game against Gibraltar.
After winning the competition in Scotland last year, Paul Fairclough's team were determined to retain their title and were confident of doing so against the Tournament newcomers.
Gibraltar were invited to enter the competition as a replacement for the Republic Of Ireland and they met the Three Lions at Colwyn Bay.
Following the Football Conference play-off final on Sunday which saw Exeter City beat Cambridge United, Fairclough took the opportunity to rest players who were involved in that game at Wembley.
The starting line-up to face Gibraltar was:-
England C: Adam Bartlett (Blyth Spartans), Chris McPhee (Ebbsfleet United), John Brayford (Burton Albion), Michael Morrison (Cambridge United), Kevin Nicholson (Torquay United), Ben Harding, Lewis Chalmers (both Aldershot Town), Russell Penn (Kidderminster Harriers), Andy Burgess(Rushden & Diamonds), Mitchell Cole, Steve Morison (both Steveange Borough)
The only goal of the game was scored by Mitchell Cole
