Scotland U18s within touching distance of retaining European spot

Scotland U18 Boys boosted their chances of retaining their place in the EuroHockey U18 Championship with a 1-1 draw against hosts Austria in Vienna earlier today.

Fergus Sandison was the Scottish goalscorer, opening the scoring in the fifth minute before the Austrians got back on level terms through Franz Lindengruen in the 18th minute.

Scotland will now retain their place in the Championship if Austria lose or draw with France. If Scotland win or draw against Belgium, they will retain their place regardless of the Austria-France result.

Scotland Team Manager Elanor Cormack, “Disappointed not to get the win but the players played well enough for the majority of the match. We had our chances but couldn’t quite get the win. We’re still hopeful of getting the results that matter tomorrow.”
