Scotland men do the double over Czech Rep

Alan Forsyth 2016Scotland completed the double over the Czech Republic with a comfortable 3-1 in the second test match in Prague, part of the build-up for the World League next month.
The Scots were one ahead at the interval, Nicky Parkes sent a free hit into the circle from the left and a diving Cammie Fraser deflected the ball past the Czech goalkeeper.
The Scots should have been further ahead at the interval but the combination of poor composure in the circle and a series of saves by the home goalkeeper kept it down to a single strike.
The Scots doubled their tally early in the second half, at a penalty corner Kenny Bain launched a vicious flick into the roof of the net past the goalkeeper`s outstretched stick.
Alan Forsyth was the catalyst in the third goal, the Surbiton striker created the move down the left, then dribbled along the base line and finished the move with a spectacular shot into the roof of the net.
The Scots created further chances to increase their lead, the best fell to Nick Samra whose shot cannoned off the bar, but there was no addition to the tally.   The Czechs scored a scrappy goal near the end but it proved little more than a consolation.
Scotland coach Derek Forsyth said:  “Although a harder game, the Czechs played better today, I`m pleased with the result on the back of yesterday`s 7-1 win.

“They posed us some problems today but I thought we handled them well.”
