Quilter Cheviot Scottish Schools Cup RoundUp

MARY ERKSINE AND CRAIGHOLME SECURE PLACE IN THE OPEN SCOTTISH SCHOOL GIRLS FINAL

 

It was a great day of youth hockey at Glasgow National Hockey Centre yesterday. The event saw Mary Erskine and Craigholme schools secure their place in the final of the Open Girls tournament.

Mary Erskine were particularly dominant, winning all 5 matches and scoring a spectacular 16 goals and only conceding 1 on the way.

The event format was 2 pools of 5 with cross overs to decide on the finalists. Mary Erskine topped Pool A with Craigholme finishing a close second. Strathallan were victorious in Pool B with Hutcheson Grammar securing second place.

The pool matches proved to be very exciting with many close scores. The talent on the day was watched by the Scottish Hockey Senior Women’s coach Gordon Shepherd who was very impressed by all players and teams. The effort the girls put in throughout the day was magnificent and they are all a great credit to their respective schools.

The semi-final matches saw Mary Erskine triumph 4-0 over Hutcheson Grammar in a hard fought match. However the drama unfolded on Pitch 2 in the other semi-final between Strathallan and Craigholme. The match ended 0-0 draw with both schools having chances to win the game. It was Craigholme who proved to be victorious in the penalty shootout, with Faith Borland securing a 4-2 win for the West.

The stage is now set for an East v West final with the two top schools from each district going head to head to claim the Open School Girls title.
