Win for under 16s

SCOTLAND UNDER 16  3   ULSTER UNDER
16  1

Scotland under 16 boys started their series against Ulster with
a comfortable 3-1 win at Inverclyde yesterday.   After a
fairly even opening 14 minutes, the Scots had their noses in front
through a penalty corner strike from CALA Edinburgh`s Cameron
Good.  The Scots youngsters continued to create chances and
shots from Elliot Sandison (VWS Dundee Wanderers) and Patrick
Christie (CALA Edinburgh) brought a double save from the Irish
goalkeeper.

The Scots dominated the second half and sealed the game with two
goals in as many minutes.   Enterprising build-up play
from Good, Rory Pritchard (Glenalmond) and Ruairidh Grossart
(Grange) created the opening for Glynhill Kelburne`s Andrew Duff
who coolly slotted the ball past the keeper from close
range.   Within a minute a move down the right from
Christie, Alex Morrison (Aberdeen Grammar School) and Andrew
Oliphant opened up the Ulster defence and Stuart Nickerson of
Watsonians fired a low reverse stick shot into the net for
Scotland`s third.  Ulster did pull one back with two minutes
left, but simply a consolation by that time.

Coach Allan Law was much happier with the second half
performance and is hoping for further improvement in today`s
encounter.   A good overall team effort with the
defensive pair of Ruairidh McArthur (Kelburne) and Sean Stewart
(Dunfermline Carnegie) particularly outstanding.
