Bromac Kelburne battle it out with Spanish side

Bromac Kelburne gave it their all in the Spanish midday sun despite losing 4-1 in their second match in the Euro Hockey League (EHL) to Atletic Terrassa.

It was a thrilling match with Kelburne holding off the Spanish right up until half time. Terrassa threw everything at them in the last two quarters but they couldn’t do enough to beat the Scottish side by four clear goals to progress to the last 16.

It was end to end play throughout with great chances for Jack McKenzie and Dougie Simpson. The Paisley based side held the Spanish side right up until the last minute before half time until Ignasi Frelxa managed to break through the Scottish defence to take the lead.

Early in the third quarter Terrassa came back with a great reverse hit from Ignasi Guerrero knocking the ball over the keeper to take the lead 2-0. Minutes later Kelburne scored with Lee Morton slotting a well-deserved goal from a scrappy penalty corner.

Ignasi Freixa scored his second of the game as Kelburne tired with Frank DI Mercurlo finishing it off for Terrassa.

There was a bit of controversy as Terrassa scored their fifth goal which they thought would see them through to the last 16 but after a video referral by the Scots, the ball hitting a Spaniard’s foot in the lead up to the goal was accepted and therefore the game finished 4-1. This saw SV Armin through to the last 16 after their nail biting draw with Atletic Terrassa yesterday.
