Kelburne relentlessly march on
SUBWAY NATIONAL LEAGUE (MEN)
Glynhill Kelburne`s march to their eighth consecutive
Subway national league title continued unabated as they crushed
bottom side VWS Dundee Wanderers 8-2.
The Paisley outfit were only 3-2 up at the interval, Mark Ralph,
Chris Nelson and Lee Morton were the scorers, Blair Williams and
James Weyers from the spot replied for the Taysiders.
The second half was all Kelburne, Alan Forsyth notched a hat-trick,
Morton got another and Jonny Christie scored a penalty.
Grange held on to second spot with a 3-1 win over Edinburgh
University. The opening goal came from a penalty corner, Rob
Barr`s flick was deflected home by Cammie Fraser.
Duncan Batchelor was then fouled as he tried to round the
goalkeeper and Barr found the net with a low shot from the spot to
put Grange two up. Back came the students, in an
overtime penalty corner Stuart Laing forced home the rebound for a
2-1 score at the interval. Grange sealed the three
points midway through the second half, Barr again scored from the
spot after Fraser was pulled down from behind by an Edinburgh
defender.
Inverleith kept in touch at the top after seeing off CALA
Edinburgh 6-2 at Peffermill. Derek Salmond put
Inverleith ahead in only five minutes, but CALA retaliated with two
penalty corner strikes by David Patterson to take a 2-1 lead.
Inverleith bounced back with two goals before the interval, Chris
Duncan from a set piece and Phil Hall put them 3-2 ahead.
After some stern talking by coach Stevie McCurry at the interval,
Inverleith stepped it up, Duncan scored again with a fierce reverse
stick shot and Andrew Malcolm picked up two late goals to seal the
three points.
AMN Hillhead moved above CALA and out of second bottom spot on
goal difference after a comfortable 6-2 win over Greaves
Clydesdale. It was 1-1 at the interval, Graeme Campbell
opened for Hillhead and Raymond Wrightson levelled for
Clydesdale. Hillhead took the second half by the scruff of
the neck and strolled into a 6-1 lead through Campbell again, Wei
Adams, Johnny Horn and brothers Andrew and Iain Hilton before
Wrightson netted a consolation for Clydesdale.
Western hang on to third spot after a 1-1 draw with Grove
Menzieshill, but only on goal difference from Inverleith,
