European promotion still a possibility for Wanderers

 

Dundee Wanderers are still in with a fighting chance of securing promotion in Europe after a 3-2 win over Belgian side Royal Antwerp in the EuroHockey Indoor Club Champions Trophy in Siaulai, Lithuania today.
Two goals in a minute from Sam Sangster and Vikki Bunce put Scotland’s European representatives 2-0 up shortly before half-time, before two goals for captain Laurine Delforge put the Belgians back on level terms.
Nevertheless, Bunce held her nerve four minutes from full-time to dispatch a penalty corner past Virginie Hermans and secure a priceless 3-2 win.
Reading’s 2-2 draw against fellow promotion rivals Gintra Strekte Uni HC means that Dundee Wanderers will most likely need a win against the English champions to finish in the top two places.
Earlier on today, the Dundonians progressed to the promotion pool stage despite a narrow 2-1 loss at the hands of hosts Gintra Strekte Uni HC. Jess Ross scored the goal for Wanderers.
Yesterday, the National Indoor League Division 1 champions drew 5-5 with Slagelse HC of Denmark in their opening match of the competition.
A double each from Bunce and Obsourne, and a goal from Elder ensured the Taysiders got off to a solid start against the Danes, before comfortably beating Italian side HC Lorenzoni 8-3 in their second pool match. Bunce netted four times, while Becky Ward helped herself to two goals. Ross and Charlotte Watson claimed a goal each.
