The pair, along with their U17 England team mates, were defeated 2-1 by Korea DPR this morning (Thursday) in the semi-final of the U17 Women's World Cup.

Both Lucys started the last-four clash, played in the Queen Elizabeth II Stadium in Christchurch, New Zealand.

Lucy B played the whole match while Lucy S was replaced with five minutes remaining.

But Korea booked their place in the final thanks to first-half goals from Ho Un Byol and Jon Myong Hwa.

Despite an effort from Rebecca Jane 15 minutes from time, England were unable to manage another great escape.

Japan will meet the USA in the final on Sunday. The USA beat Germany 2-1 in the tournament's other semi-final.

England will now face Germany in the third-fourth place play-off, also on Sunday.

Speaking after the Korean defeat, England's coach Lois Fidler told FIFA.com: I think our girls deserved to get more out of the game.

"I'm very proud of them: they were resilient and showed great character again.

"We've had a lot of criticism here for coming out on top in games when we've not been the better side, but on this occasion I think it was the other way round.

"But we wish the Koreans all the best in the final and we'll prepare for the third place game as we would have for the final."
