Two wins from two matches ensures strong start for Grove Menzieshill

Grove Menzieshill find themselves in a healthy position at the top of Pool A after day one of the EuroHockey Indoor Club Champions Trophy in Minsk, Belarus.
Chris Anderson’s side defeated Soerbymagle HK in their opening match, running out 11-6 winners. Ross McPherson helped himself to four goals, Sam Tilson notched a hat-trick, while Michael Ross and Josh Cairns both registered a double each.
The Taysiders’ second contest against SV Kampong appeared to be a tough match at the outset, but last season’s National Indoor League champions ran out comfortable 5-1 winners in the end.
They found themselves 2-0 up at half-time courtesy of strikers from Callum Boag and Ross McPherson. Dylan Petrus Vermeij pulled SV Kampong back into the contest two minutes after half-time, but further goals from Craig Falconer, Ben Cromar and McPherson, registering his sixth goal of the day, ensured a 5-1 victory at full-time.
Grove Menzieshill are now certain to qualify for the promotion pool starting tomorrow afternoon. A win against HAHK Mladost in their final Pool A match at 7.40 GMT tomorrow morning would set a strong foundation for the Dundonians to push for a top two finish in the competition.
All matches will be broadcast live on the EuroHockey Indoor Club Champions website. Please also see the website for fixtures, results, pool standings, pictures and more.
