Linda Clement: Defeat to England "a disappointment"

Linda Clement has said that it was "a disappointment" for Scotland's women's hockey team to lose to England at the Commonwealth Games earlier today.

The 2-1 defeat was the Scots' second of the competition, and ensures that they will not feature in the semi-finals of the event, throwing doubt over their future funding.

The captain told BBC Sport: "To be honest, it's not at the top of my mind at the moment. The funding issue is something that is likely to be dealt with behind the scenes. It's a disappointment we couldn't win today."

Scotland were considered one of the pre-tournament favourites for the medals.
