Scotland U18’s off to a flyer in Cernuso with win over Italy

 


Scotland started their bid from promotion with a convincing 3-0 win
over hosts Italy in the opening pool match of the European under 18
Nations Championships in Cernusco.

In a fairly even opening 30 minutes the Scots youngsters had the
best of the chances through CALA Edinburgh`s David Patterson and
Tom Kemsley from AMN Hillhead.  But Jonny Roy finally broke
the deadlock just before the interval, he scored with a direct shot
from close range after good build-up work from Greaves Clydesdale
teammate Stewart Coghlan.

Not long after the break Coghlan himself put the Scots two up with
a deflection from a penalty corner strike by Ben Peterson.
 The result was sealed with a third goal from Corey Hastings,
the initial shot was saved by the Italian goalkeeper but the
rebound was stroked home by the CALA striker.

Austria are Scotland`s next opponents today and in their first
encounter they beat Ukraine 5-2 to top the pool on the number of
goals scored.
