Grange overcome Hillhead with Wildcats waiting in the wings
Grange will meet Western Wildcats next Saturday for a place in the Aberdeen Asset Management National League Grand Final after a 2-1 win over Hillhead at Peffermill today.
Rob Barr was the hero for the Edinburgh side, scoring from two penalty corner attempts. Hillhead’s reply came from Andrew Hilton, a brilliant finish from the top of the circle.
Hillhead can reflect on an excellent season with a fourth place finish in the top division.
In Pool A, Grove Menzieshill responded strongly to yesterday’s draw against AAM Gordonians with a dominant 6-0 win over Watsonians at Peffermill.
Ben Cosgrove gave the Taysiders at 1-0 advantage at half-time, before two goals from Adam Fallis, another Cosgrove strike, plus goals from Oliver James and Paul Martin, put the Edinburgh side away.
AAM Gordonians have put themselves in a good position going into next week’s matches after defeating Edinburgh University 2-1.
The Aberdonians struck early, with Dwayne Rowsell scoring a great goal in the second minute, before Joel Evans added another sixty seconds later. Alistair Wood scored the University side’s goal from the penalty corner in the 45th minute.
In Pool B, Inverleith are safe after a 5-2 win over Dundee Wanderers. Adam MacKenzie rifled home four penalty corners in addition to a Phil Hall goal from open play. Wanderers’ goals came from Mark Walker and Fergus Sandison.
PSL Team Sport Clydesdale dented Uddingston’s promotion challenge with an excellent 4-1 win.
Laurie McKelvie put Uddingston in front in the tenth minute, but goals from Ewan Fraser and Murray Collins, plus a late double from Ciaran Crawford ensured John McKnight’s side sit in a good position before the final pool match next Saturday.
