Katie proves a Euro hit for England
Date published: 25 April 2013
KATIE Zelem was in great goalscoring form as she helped England under-19s into the European Championship finals.
The 17-year-old Blue Coat School pupil, who plays her club football at Manchester United, flew to Norway for the qualifying competition.
England were in a tough four-team group, and Katie scored twice in the first game, though the team lost 5-4 to Serbia.
She then scored in the second game — a 3-0 win against Hungary — meaning England needed to beat hosts Norway by two clear goals in the final game to qualify.
Katie was on target again in that tense final fixture, which England won 3-0.
England now play Wales at Swansea in the Euro finals in August.
