Grassick winner extends Scotland’s winning run
Scotland Senior Men made it seven wins in a row this afternoon with a 2-1 victory over the Czech Republic in Prague. Kenny Bain and Chris Grassick were the goalscorers for Derek Forsyth’s side.
Scotland Team Manager Eugene Connolly reflected on the win following the match, “The players and management team are very happy and satisfied with another win. We’ve won two out of two against a team who are ranked higher than us and will be competing in the European Championship next month.
“It’s now seven wins on the bounce so everyone in the camp is in good spirits. We’re particularly pleased with the players who have come into the squad and done very well. Derek [Forsyth] is delighted with the guys’ performances.”
Scottish marksman Kenny Bain scored his fourth goal in two games when his reverse stick shot opened the scoring for the visitors in the 13th minute.

The Scots took the narrow 1-0 advantage into the half-time interval, but it was the Czechs who struck back after the break, netting a rebound just in front of goal to make the scoreline 1-1 in the 42nd minute.
However, Scotland didn’t have to wait long to regain the ascendency when Chris Grassick finished off a penalty corner set-play in the 52nd minute to give the national side a 2-1 win.
