Scotland under 16`s beat England
SCOTLAND 3 ENGLAND 2 (GIRLS UNDER
16)
It is not often that Scotland get one over on the English, but
Scotland`s under 16 girls did just that in the opening match of the
two match test series at Forthbank.
The Scots dominated the first half and finished 3-1 up at the
interval, the goals coming from Inverleith`s Eilidh Thomson, CALA
Edinburgh`s Millie Brown and Jessica Ross from VWS Dundee
Wanderers. The English pulled one back in the second
half, but not enough to steal the victory from the Scots.
“We were very good in the first half, but the second half was
less structured,” said Bill Robson, Scotland`s coach.

MEN)
The boys were not so successful, they lost 5-3 to
England. The English were
two up at the interval, but within 30 seconds of the restart
Grange`s Hamish Imrie had pulled one back. The English
piled it on and went 3-1 up, before Gordon Amour made it 3-2 from a
penalty stroke. Callum Boag gave the Scots a sniff of victory
with a reverse stick shot to tie the scores at 3-3, but the English
pulled away with a couple of late strikes.
