Grand & Great Grand Masters prepare for Celtic Cup challenge

 

Scotland’s Over 60 and Over 65 teams cross the Irish Sea to Bangor on the weekend of 24-26 April in a bid to retain both Celtic Cups. The Over 60 side play a round robin against France, Wales and Ireland over the three days, while their older brethren take on Wales after the French Over 65 side had to withdraw at the last minute.
Over 60: Jim Bate, Hew Bishop, John Candlin, Jim Chisholm, John Connaghan,  John Hay, Chris Kalman (GK), Derek Johnstone, Gordon Loudon, Steve Macdonald, Bernie Morrison, Alistair Ogilvie, Glenn Paton, Stuart Robertson, Chris Taylor (GK), Ian Wilson. Ally Trainor is manager and Ian Wilson coach/captain.
Over 65: Alan Auld (captain), Ernie Brittain-Dodd, Alex Cathro, Roy Crichton, Donald Dunbar, Andy Ferrol, Colin Gallacher, Peter Gordon, Chris Kalman (GK), Alan Parker, Stuart Robertson, Colin Tucker, Dougie Turner, Sandy Weir. George Black is manager and reserve goalkeeper, and Peter Gordon is the coach.
Both competitions were very close last year, with Wales the main threat to both Scottish teams. Scotland Over 60s edged out Wales in the 2014 Celtic Cup but lost to them in the group stages of the 2014 World Cup, so will be looking for revenge. Scotland and Wales Great Grand Masters could not be separated over two matches in 2014 and another close encounter is expected.
