Scotland open with draw against Poland
Scotland U18 Girls (Brown 9’) 1-1 Poland (Dorobiala 58’)
Scotland U18 Girls drew 1-1 against Poland in the first match of their EuroHockey U18 Nations Championship II campaign today.
Millie Brown was the goal-scorer for the Scots, netting an opening goal in the ninth minute before Poland equalised mid-way through the second half when Izabela Dorobiala hit back for the Poles in the 58th minute.
Following today’s encounter, Scotland U18 Girls Head Coach Colin Clarke said, “The game was physical and frantic. We were unable to get hold of the game due to its stop-start nature and as a result, we did not take advantage of our superior possession.
“Looking forward to tomorrow’s game against Italy, the girls have everything in their hands in terms of semi-final qualification.
“Our ball-pace and decision-making in the opposition’s half has room for development and we’re confident as a group that focussing on the processes will provide the platform for an improved performance against the Italians.”
The Scots now face Italy in their second Pool A match tomorrow at 19.00 (CET), where a positive result is vital to securing a place in the fight for promotion in post-pool crossover matches.
