Masters Triumph in Celtic Cup at Largs

Masters Triumph in Celtic Cup at Largs

Both the 0-60 and 0-65 squads had a double success in
the annual Celtic Cup at the Inverclyde National Centre, Largs at
the weekend.

The O65s set the tone with a narrow 2-1 victory over their Welsh
counterparts but it was a close run thing with the winning goal
being scored by Edinburgh Cala’s Sandy Weir with the last hit of
the game. Earlier Roy Crichton (Waverley Inveresk) had given the
Scots an early lead from a set piece strike. The home side fell out
of the game in the second half (including a penalty stroke miss by
Giffnock’s Alan Auld) and it was no real surprise when Wales
equalised through David Maas. The home team rallied and got the
eventual winner at the death. Over the piece Scotland deserved its
win.

The 060s had a most convincing 2-0 victory over Wales in the
second match of the day. Following first half strikes by Hew Bishop
(Dunfermline Carnegie) and Glenn Paton (Livingston & West
Lothian) they remained in control for the rest of the game and
thoroughly deserved their success.

Hew Bishop and David Ballingall (Jersey) won the respective
players of the tournament and were each presented with hockey
sticks kindly donated by Matador.

The reverse fixtures on Sunday afforded our Welsh guests the
opportunity to gain some revenge which they did by winning both
matches 1-0.

With these fixtures coming in the category of “unofficial
matches” Saturday’s victories ensured that the Celtic Cups remained
north of the border for another year.
