U21 Scotland put to the test against England

U21 Scotland men were in action over the weekend as they faced neighbours England in a two match series at Peffermill, unfortunately losing 5-0 and 5-2.

Saturday saw the men play in thirds of 25 minutes each, with England attacking early on leaving the young Scots on the back foot allowing two goals in, but the Scots brushed it off and stepped up in the last two thirds giving the England side a good game.

No rest for the Scots as they played again today. The men went down 4-1 early on, Scotland’s goal coming from Adean McCrossan. The young side soon fought back to secure another goal from Murray Colins to finish the game 5-2 to England. They finished the day with running penalties where England won 5-3.

Graham Moodie head coach was pleased with his teams improving performance; ‘We struggled with the intensity at the start of the match going 4-1 down in the first 25 minutes but really competed after in spells. Considering we lost 8-0 in February to them and 5-0 yesterday this is a great improvement and promising for the future.’
