Ahead of the Elite Qualifying Round of the UEFA European Women’s U19 Championship, Head Coach Mo Marley will, later this month, take a 22-strong England squad to the Netherlands for a testing double-header against the host nation and France.

The Young Lionesses received a bye in the First Qualifying Round, courtesy of their impressive recent record in this competition - they won their maiden title in 2009 and were runners-up in both 2007 and 2010 - and Marley use these two matches as preparation for the Elite Round matches, which will take place between 31 March and 5 April 2012.

England will take on France on Tuesday 22 November and the Netherlands on Thursday 24 November.
