Women’s Masters defeated by the Dutch

Scotland’s female Masters faced a tough challenge against the home side Holland. Roving reporters Janice Moir and Jill Reid provide us with details of the game which saw Scotland loe 4-0.

Scotland always knew the Dutch would be tough opposition, however the teams, including captain Ali Ramsay who was playing with a heavily strapped calf, started well and played some very good hockey. However the Dutch were too strong and by half time the Scots were down 0-3. Scotland failed to capitalise on their scoring opportunities, whilst Holland displayed their skills and how to be clinical in the D.

As both teams took to the field in the second half, Scotland were able to match the Dutch in many areas of play and were disappointed not to take advantage of the scoring opportunities they had. With a goal in the last few minutes Holland extended their lead by one more, rounding out the game with a final score of 0-4.

Despite the score line, this was a great performance by The Scots and although disappointed by the result heads are high as they move on to play RSA 45s.
