Three in a row as Scotland ease to win over Czech Republic

A double each for Vikki Bunce and Kareena Marshall, added to goals from Aileen Davies and Louise Campbell, gave Scotland Senior Women a 6-0 win over Czech Republic at the Glasgow National Hockey Centre today.

As a result, the Scots sealed the international series 3-0 after three excellent results this weekend.

Scotland took control of the contest after only two minutes when they were awarded a penalty corner; following the injection of the ball from Sarah Robertson, Kareena Marshall fired the ball past Czech goalkeeper Barbora Cechakova to put her side 1-0 up.

The visitors were given an opportunity to find an equaliser shortly after, but Adela Bizova failed to find the target when the goal was at her mercy.

The home side should have secured a second goal in the 13th minute, however the Scottish forward-line failed to take advantage of a four on one opportunity, with Sarah Robertson eventually putting the ball wide of the right hand post.

Nevertheless, it only took a minute to make amends, defender Aileen Davis rifling a shot low into the bottom left corner of the goal to make it 2-0.

A second quarter of limited goalmouth action proceeded, with Marshall’s effort right on the stroke of half-time going over the bar.

Three minutes after the re-start, Scotland chalked up their third goal, Marshall deflecting Nicki Skrastin’s shot past Cechakova, much to the glee of the Western Wildcats defender.

Louise Campbell brought out a good block from Cechakova midway through the third quarter, before a great individual run and reverse stick shot from forward Vikki Bunce registered the fourth goal for the hosts in the 45th minute.

The fifth goal arrived in the 53rd minute, Campbell rounding the out-stretched Cechakova to finish from a tight angle, before Bunce rounded off the scoring a minute from full-time, claiming her second goal with a final touch on the goal-line from Nikki Lloyd’s shot.
