Great Grand Masters win Celtic Cup
Scotland’s Over 65 side won the Great Grand Masters Celtic Cup in Bangor, Northern Ireland over the weekend of 24-26 April with a 1-0 victory over Wales in the second and deciding match of the event.
In a close-fought match, a goal by colin Gallacher was enough to secure victory for the Scots, who had fought back the previous day with a goal from a Roy Crichton penalty corner to level the scores against the Welsh.
The Grand Masters Celtic Cup was won for the first time by Ireland. Scotland Over 60s began with a flourish, beating France 7-1, but faltered slightly in the second match against Wales, a scrappy encounter which ended 0-0.
A draw against Ireland in the final match of the tournament was all that was needed to retain the trophy, but Ireland proved too strong, winning the match 3-1 and with it the Celtic Cup.
