Dundee Wanderers Hockey Club have won a bronze medal at the EuroHockey Indoor Club Champions Trophy in Lithuania after finishing third overall.

Wanderers were only a minute away from securing second place and promotion, leading English champions Reading for the vast majority of the match after Vikki Bunce’s third minute goal from a penalty stroke.

Alas, Scotland and Great Britain international Emily Maguire equalised only minute from full-time to ensure Reading finished in second position and edged out the Scottish indoor champions into third.

The eventual winners were hosts Gintra Strekte Uni HC.

Scotland defender Becky Ward and former Scotland international goalkeeper Carmin Dow were awarded the tournament’s Best Defender and Best Goalkeeper.
