Luke Cranney gave Scotland the lead with a sweet strikein the 10th minute after the initial penalty corner attempt was saved by Wales’ goalkeeper Hamish Addey.

Steve McCurry’s side doubled their advantage in the 23rd minute, courtesy of a fiercely struck penalty corner from Andrew Webb.

With half-time approaching, Ioan Wall brought Wales back into the contest with a well-taken shot high into the net in the 30th minute.

The second half was dominated by the home side, scoring five goals without reply.

Webb again demonstrated his prowess at the penalty corner set-play, firing the ball low past Addey six minutes after the re-start.

Four minutes later, it was Chris McFadden who took control at the penalty corner set-piece to drive the ball into the net for a fourth Scottish goal.

Any hopes of a Welsh comeback were extinguished in the 48th minute after Rob Harwood stepped up to score a penalty flick after being illegally grounded by Addey inside the scoring circle.

An excellent team goal in the 52nd minute saw Scotland go 6-1 up after Callum McKenzie finished in off the right hand post.

James Nairn concluded the scoring in the 59th minute, driving the ball low and hard into the left hand corner of the goal to make the final score 7-1 to the hosts.
