Mixed Results For Scottish Sides In Europe

EUROPEAN CLUB CHAMPIONS TROPHY AT GLASGOW GREEN


Bromac Kelburne kept their unbeaten record in the European Club Champions Trophy at Glasgow Green but they were held to a 1-1 draw by Swiss side Rotweiss Wettingen.    The result now means that the Paisley side must beat Irish champions Banbridge, they whipped Minsk from Belarus 4-1, to reach tomorrow`s final.

In the first half Kelburne had a lot of pressure but failed to break down a very organised Swiss outfit.    To make matters worse it was Wettingen who stole the lead at their first penalty corner, Kelburne goalkeeper Ben Rennie blocked several Swiss efforts and finally Nicolas Steffen forced the ball home.

The Scottish champions were back on level terms early in the second half, at a set piece Chris Nelson switched the ball left to Lee Morton and the youngster promptly swept the ball home.

There was a couple of chances at both ends, Nelson had a goalline save at a Swiss penalty corner while at the other end Chris Traynor missed an opportunity from close range, leaving the contest to end in stalemate.

EUROPEAN CLUB CHAMPION CHALLENGE 1 IN PRAGUE

Edinburgh University failed to continue their winning form by going down 1-0 to hosts Slavia Prague at the women`s European Club Champions Challenge 1 in the Czech Republic.



After a goalless first half, Edinburgh conceded a soft goal by Adele Bizova.


Despite Slavia having two players in the sin bin at one stage Edinburgh were unable to take advantage and get back on level terms.  However, the students had their chances, they failed to score from four penalty corners, although one effort struck the crossbar from a deflection.


The Scottish champions must now beat top side Ulster Elks to confirm their place in tomorrow`s promotion play-offs.
