Scotland girls off to a winning start at the School Games 2016
Scotland beat Ulster 2-1 in the girls’ hockey tournament at the School Games 2016 in Loughborough. Goals from Emily Dark and Hanna Mckie gave Scotland a 2-0 lead before Ulster battled back towards the end of the match. For much of the performance Scotland were in control of the match and looked capable of scoring more goals. A late rally by Ulster was held off by the Scots, many of whom performed so well during the recent EuroHockey U18 Youth Championship II tournament in Glasgow, and gave Scotland a strong winning start.
The girls take on England Red next at 12.30pm. The game will be streamed live HERE.
Scotland’s boys team will make their first appearance at the School Games today when they take on Wales at 7pm. Like the girls, many of the boys played in the recent EuroHockey U18 Youth Championship II tournament in Glasgow, and will be hoping to carry this form into the match against England.
The match will be streamed live HERE.
