VIDEO: England U19s 4-1 Poland

Everton's James Vaughan grabbed a second half brace as England came from behind to overpower Poland at Dean Court.

England U19s are heading for Coventry, Northampton and Walsall as they look to book their place at the European Championship in July.

Facing the daunting prospect of Holland, Czech Republic and Russia, Brian Eastick's side will need all the support of the loyal England supporters once again.

The Young Lions will play Russia at Walsall's Bescot Stadium, before playing Holland at the Ricoh Arena and finishing the group with Czech Republic at Sixfields.

But despite the calibre of opponents Brian Eastick is confident that with the games being played in England they can still make it.

"To be perfectly honest it is a very difficult draw," Eastick explained. "But hopefully the crowds will come out and support the team, as that could really spur the players on and make the difference.

"We had a fantastic crowd at Bournemouth recently, a sellout at Dean Court, and we hope that the fans come out in force once again in May.

"The U19s played at Northampton last season and that game was also a sellout, and they have a fantastic pitch there to play football on.

"We have experience of Walsall from earlier in the season when we faced Holland where over eight thousand fans turned out - lets hope that those same fans will support us once more.

"And of course you have to say that Coventry's new ground looks fantastic."

Russia are first up for England at Walsall's Bescot Stadium on Tuesday May 15, followed by Holland at Coventry's Ricoh Arena on Thursday 17 May.

England played Holland at this level in September, drawing 0-0 at the Bescott Stadium, before travelling to Austria for a UEFA Preparatory Tournament where they faced the very best sides in Spain, Austria and Italy.

The final game is the day after The FA Cup Final, Sunday 20 May, and will see the Young Lions take on Czech Republic at Northampton's Sixfields Stadium.

Last season the U19s played in Belgium at this round of the competition, coming against extremely strong opposition in Serbia & Montenegro and the hosts Belgium and did not progress to the Finals tournament. Only the winners of Group 3 will take their place at the Finals in Austria in July.
