Menzieshill six points clear

Little has changed at the top of the Subway indoor
national league, Grove Menzieshill are still in pole position but
their lead has increased to six points as a result of three back to
back victories over Tayside rivals VWS Dundee Wanderers, Glynhill
Kelburne and finally Grange.

In the opening match Menzieshill saw off Tayside rivals VWS
Dundee Wanderers 12-1, Chris Wilson notched a nap hand while Ross
McPherson scored a double.  Wilson was again the catalyst in
the 12-7 victory over Glynhill Kelburne in the second match, this
time with a double hat-trick while Josh Cairns, who plays outdoors
for the Paisley side, scored four.  For Kelburne, Willie
Marshall scored five and Iain Scholefield got a further
two. 

In the game of the day, leaders Menzieshill defeated third
placed Grange 8-5 to keep their perfect record.   Cammie
Fraser gave Grange an early lead in two minutes, but then the
Taysiders raced into a 4-1 lead through two goals from Gavin Byers
and others from Josh Cairns and Gavin Tomlinson.   Just
before the interval Fraser Sands pulled one back for Grange, but on
the stroke of half-time Cairns scored again to put the Dundonians
5-2 ahead at the break.

It was honours even in the second half, for Grange Sands got his
hat-trick and Gary Cameron got the other while Cairns scored
another two and Andrew Thornton were on target for the league
leaders.

In their first game Inverleith found themselves tied at 3-3 with
Western Wildcats, but took the second half fairly easily to finish
8-4 winners at the end.  Adam MacKenzie`s early penalty corner
strike was quickly cancelled out by Scott McCartney.  The
Edinburgh side marched into a 3-1 lead through Derek Salmond and
Stephen Dick but again back came the Wildcats with a double from
Dougie Simpson.  The second half belonged to Inverleith with a
succession of goals from Dick, Phil Hall, John Harris and another
two for MacKenzie for his hat-trick of set pieces.  
Simpson also notched a hat-trick with a goal in the final
minute.

Next up were CALA Edinburgh who fell 12-5 to the
champions.  Although Mike Rae got a couple for CALA, four
goals each for Graham Moodie and MacKenzie along with a hat-trick
by Stephen Dick was too much for the bottom side in the table.

Grange defeated CALA in their opening fixture 15-0, a result
partly caused by CALA`s squad of only six players.  Fraser
Sands topped the scoring with four and there were three each for
Duncan Batchelor and George Lambert.  The Edinburgh side also
saw off Western Wildcats 8-5, Sands again was on target with three,
Phil Sully got two and the others came from Cammie Fraser, Gary
Cameron, and Lampard.   The Wildcats` scorers were Steven
Percy (2), Scott McCartney (2) and Simpson.

Glynhill Kelburne progressed up the table with a 7-5 victory
over Greaves Clydesdale, courtesy mainly of a nap hand from Willie
Marshall, Alan Forsyth getting the other two.  For Clydesdale
there was a hat-trick for Ciaran Crawford.

Despite earlier defeats at the hands of Grange and Inverleith,
the Wildcats finished the day with a 6-5 win over Kelburne, the
mainstay was four goals from Steven Percy while Marshall notched
the same total for the Paisley outfit.

Wanderers moved away from the lower reaches with a narrow 5-4
win over Clydesdale, veteran Paul Dailly was on target with three,
the others came from James Weyers and Euan Borland, while Ben
Peterson scored twice for the Titwood side.
