National Indoor League Division 1
Grove Menzieshill pipped arch-rivals Inverleith by a single point to retain their National Indoor League Division 1 title on an extraordinary final session at Bell’s Sports Centre, Perth this afternoon.
Both sides recorded routine wins in their opening matches; the Dundee side beating Glynhill Hitel Kelburne (7-0) and Inverleith easily defeating Harris Academy FP (12-0).
In their second match, Chris Anderson’s side put the pressure back on the Purple Robes with a comfortable 4-2 win over city rivals Dundee Wanderers and the pressure told, with Inverleith being held to a 3-3 draw by Grange.
With only a point in the title race, it came down to final match shoot-out, with Grove Menzieshill snatching that all important point against Stuart Neave’s charges in a 4-4 draw to finish top of the table.
As it stands, Grange and Dundee Wanderers will join the top two in the European play-offs at the Indoor Gala Day at Bell’s Sports Centre on Saturday 9 February, following their respective third and fourth place finishes.
