England U19 Women picked up their first win of their European Championship Qualifying Round on Saturday, with a convincing victory against the hosts Slovenia.

The Young Lionesses started their campaign with a 1-1 draw against Slovakia on Thursday, but were always on top in this clash with Jade Moore setting Mo Marley's girls on their way after 22 minutes.

Moore, who also netted against the Slovakians in the opening game, then added a second goal only eight minutes later.

A goal from Jess Holbrook on the stroke of half time gave England an unassailable lead and they now look forward to facing Scotland on Tuesday.

England: Lauren Davey, Rachel Daly, Naomi Chadwick, Michelle Hinnigan, Jodie Jacobs, Gemma Bonner, Isobel Christiansen (Rachel Pitman, 75) , Lucy Staniforth (Rebecca Jane, 80) Jade Moore, Jessica Holbrook (Sarah Wiltshire, 83) Jordan Nobbs
