Sarina Wiegman delighted with England performance ahead of Euros opener
Sarina Wiegman was impressed with England's performance but knows there will be stronger challenges ahead after their dominant 7-0 win over Jamaica in their final game before the European Women's Championship. Ella Toone scored a brace either side of Lucy Bronze's header to give England a healthy advantage at the break. Advertisement Wiegman's side flexed their muscles in the second period as Georgia Stanway, Alessia Russo, Aggie Beever-Jones and Beth Mead got on the scoresheet to give England the perfect send-off before they face France in their first game at the Euros next Saturday. 'We played a good game,' the 55-year-old said. 'We were a lot in the final third, we scored seven goals which is really good, created a lot of chances and some moments could have been even more patient sometimes. 'But at the same time, scoring seven goals and more opportunities to score was really good. 'We know next week we have to take our game to the next level. But what we wanted to do was play a good game, entertain fans, getting ready for next week and getting everyone fit out of this game. Advertisement 'It shows we have a good team and have many options and competition going on for positions. Today we had six different players score goals, which is nice going into the Euros and it shows the players can score goals.' England gained momentum ahead of their Euros opener against France (Bradley Collyer/PA) Lauren James climbed off the bench in the second period as she made her first appearance since a hamstring injury in April. It did not take long for her to make an impact as she supplied the cross for Russo's goal shortly after her introduction. Wiegman added: 'We're still building her. She's worked so hard to be here where she is now. At Chelsea first, but then the last two weeks in training camps, she could do every single training session and did really well. 'Now this is the first time she could get minutes and we hope next week we can keep building her going into France. Advertisement 'Also there is a lot of competition going on upfront and in midfield so we've figured out over the last couple days how we will start.' England feared Mead picked up an injury when she went down holding her knee as the game ticked over into stoppage time. Beth Mead overcame an injury scare to score England's seventh goal (Bradley Collyer/PA) The fans had their hearts in their mouths when Mead received treatment on the field, but she was able to get up and carry on before she scored the last goal of the game. Wiegman said: 'It was a hit on her knee. She's OK, she's good. 'Everyone came out fit and healthy so it was just a hard knock. It looked horrible so we were a little bit scared too, but she could even score after that moment.'

Floodlights approved for County Durham football club
Plans for new floodlights at Chester-le-Street Town FC have been submitted. (Image: Google) Plans for new floodlights at Chester-le-Street Town FC have been approved by Durham County Council. The club, located at Moor Park House on Union Lane, will be replacing its current halide lights with new LED floodlights. Advertisement It will involve a slight alteration in height, from 16m to 15m, and lighting configuration, with the 16 current lamps being replaced by 12 downward-angled units. The application was approved by Durham County Council on June 25. According to a statement from the club, these changes will not impact flood risk or biodiversity, as the development falls under a "de minimis" exemption due to its small size. The lights will operate daily from 8am to 10pm, with different lighting intensities for matches and other times. The new lighting system, as outlined in the Design and Access Statement and accompanying drawings, includes lighting spillage modelling conforming to ILP guidance. Advertisement The council has stipulated that the work must commence within three years and must be carried out in line with the approved plans. These include the site plan and proposed floodlighting pitch levels and obtrusive light location plan. Recommended reading Additionally, internal shrouding must be implemented and retained. Statutory consultees such as Sport England, Environmental Health, and Ecology raised no objections to the proposal. No objections or representations were received from the public, with 16 neighbours consulted on the matter.
