Glynhill Kelburne are champions for the tenth season in a row

 

Glynhill Kelburne won the Aberdeen Asset Management National League Division 1 title for a tenth year running after a 2-1 victory over Grange in the Grand Final at the Glasgow National Hockey Centre.
Following a closely contested first half, penalty drag-flick expert Mark Ralph gave the defending champions a 1-0 lead shortly before half-time with a trademark penalty corner strike into the roof of the net.
However, Grange responded mid-way through the second half, after a fine move from the Stags ended up with Andrew Brogdon deflecting the ball past Kelburne Mark Fulton to make it 1-1 in the 52nd minute.
Class told in the end though, with Jack McKenzie’s dive at the back post resulting in the Scotland U21 international turning home the ball with an outstretched stick.
