Wales cruised to a 5-1 win over Czech Republic at the EuroHockey Championship II in Gniezno, Poland.

The game had been postponed from Monday due to heavy rain, but having also won their opener against Switzerland on Sunday, Wales now top Pool B before their group-stage finale against Lithuania on Wednesday.

Beth Peers' reverse stick effort put Wales ahead with her third goal in seven appearances before Great Britain squad member Millie Holme added the second.

Rebecca Daniels was next on the scoresheet before captain Beth Bingham's penalty stroke and Betsan Thomas scored the fifth.

Switzerland meet Lithuania later on Tuesday.
