National League title successes for Kelburne, Edinburgh Uni & Grove Menzieshill
A number of Scottish hockey’s National League Division title issues were settled this weekend, with three outcomes determined in Men’s Division 1 and 2, and in Women’s Division 1.
Bromac Kelburne extended their extraordinary consecutive run of Men’s National League Division 1 title successes to eleven after a fantastic 15-0 win over Inverleith at the Glasgow National Hockey Centre clinched the league championship.
The Paisley side reached their latest milestone with fifteen wins and only the one loss.

At Peffermill, Edinburgh University sealed their maiden Women’s National League Division 1 league championship with a 2-0 win over closest rivals Grove Menzieshill.
Following on from their first ever Scottish Cup success last season, the university side has an impressive 100% win record to date with sixteen victories. Away trips to Watsonians and Dundee Wanderers stand in their way of completely unbeaten season but Head Coach Sam Judge and her players will be confident of reaching this target.

Grove Menzieshill make a swift return to Men’s National League Division 1 after winning promotion back to the top flight with confirmation of the Division 2 title this weekend.
With a 100% win record, the Taysiders have dominated the division, including an unprecedented and hugely impressive 181 goals scored so far.
With three matches left to play, a double century of goals may be on the cards given their form in front of goal.
