Eadie double puts Scots into contention for promotion in Spain

 

A double from Jennifer Eadie, together with goals from Laura Page and Waverley Miller, gave Scotland U18 Girls an excellent 4-0 win over Italy in Santander, Spain today.
As a result, the young Scots advance into the promotion pool stage of the EuroHockey U18 Championship II this weekend, when they will play the runners-up and winners of Pool B.
Following today’s success over the Italians, Scotland U18 Girls Head Coach Colin Clarke said, “We will prepare over the next 48 hours to play our semi-final against opponents who we’ll find out about after tomorrow’s pool games.
“The girls responded in the right way after the set-back of the opening game against Poland. The squad played with the necessary momentum. Their visual connections, coupled with their patience in retaining the ball is something to build on for Saturday.”
Scotland had to be patient in during the first half, but eventually opened the scoring not long before half-time when Jennifer Eadie finished off a penalty corner set-play to make it 1-0 in the 27th minute.
A minute after the re-start, Eadie doubled the advantage from the penalty spot to make it 2-0 and leave the Italians with a difficult task of getting back into the contest.
However, the Scots left their opponents with little hope in the 57th minute when Laura Page was on hand at a penalty corner to give her side a 3-0 cushion.
The scoring was rounded off right on full-time as another penalty corner gave Waverley Miller the opportunity to grab Scotland’s fourth goal in the 70th minute.
As a result, they finish top of Pool A with four points.
