Scotland and wales men development teams battled out a very even and competitive 0-0 draw in the first of three matches in Wrexham.

Scotland came close as well when Sam Weissen had a shot saved from close range before half time.

In the second half Henry Emmett made a good save from a penalty corner low to his right to keep Scotland on level terms, while Jack McAllister had a reverse stick shot zip wide of the mark

Scotland had good success at turnovers and from one of these McAllister had a chance to win it for Scotland at the end; from the turnover came a cross from left, and only an outstanding save denied Scotland the winner.
