REVIEW: EHL opportunity for Kelburne and some big National League results

Bromac Kelburne have a great chance of qualifying for the knock-out stages of the EuroLeague for only the third time, they top the pool three points ahead of favourites Atletic Terrassa from Spain.

The opening came when the Spanish side were unexpectedly held to a 4-4 draw by Russian champions Dinamo Kazan yesterday, the side Kelburne beat 3-1 in their first match.

The Scottish champions final game is against Terrassa, with only the top side in the pool progressing a draw would be sufficient for the Scots to win the pool and progress to the knock-out stages.

On the domestic scene newly promoted Watsonians continued their impressive run of form with a 5-1 win at Gordonians, the result propels them into pole position in the first division. Scott Sutherland and Mike McKenna both scored twice while Craig McCrossan got the other.

Milne Craig Western are still in pole position after seeing off Dundee Wanderers 3-2 after a second half comeback. Not long after the interval it looked as if the Taysiders were on the verge of an upset, they led 2-0 through strikes by Vikki Bunce and Sam Sangster.
