Germans too strong for Scotland U18 Boys in Vienna

Scotland U18 Boys endured a difficult start to their EuroHockey U18 Championship campaign with a 9-0 reverse at the hands of Germany in Vienna today.

Two goals from Nils Grunenwald, plus strikes from Moritz Trompertz , Leon Willemsen, Constantin Staib, and a penalty stroke courtesy of Paul-Phillipp Kaufmann gave the Germans an unassailable 7-0 lead at half-time.

A Scotland own goal and a Ferdinand Weinke finish from open play finished off the scoring at 9-0.

The Scots will face France next tomorrow afternoon at 14.00 BST.
