Watsonians’ Charlie Jack was the catalyst in the game of the day against neighbors Grange-Hij scored a hat trick in the 3-2 victory on his side to maintain pole position in the prime ministers of the men. He was on goal for a half-time lead for one goal and added a second of the place in the third quarter, and Watsonians seemed to cruise. David Nairn, however, withdrew one for Grange, but it didn’t help because Jack added a third in the last quarter.
But the last eight minutes were full of excitement. Firstly, Grange was reduced to ten players when Livio Belotti was sent to the Sin bin, after which Archie Stephen returned the score to 3-2, Grange then pushed to the equalizer, the Watsonians keeper stood firm … and the game ended 3-2 to Watsonians.
Watsonians Captain Luke Campbell had this to say: “We looked comfortable at 2-0 up, but towards the end of the game, Grange probably had more of the opportunities than we and we had Craig Yelland to thank for a few excellent rescues.”
However, Jamie Golden, the University of Edinburgh, was the man of the day with six goals, two of penalty corners and the others of Open Play, in the ten goals defeat of Inverleith. The rest of the goals came from a hat trick from Keir Robb and Arthur Owens received the other. The students already look ominous.
Esm Lions dropped their first points of the season with a 1-1 draw at Dundee Wanderers. Mark Hartley opened for the Taysiders with a wonderful reverse stick strike at a counterattack, but Theo Wood distributed to the Edinburgh side.
Western Wildcats roared in second place in the table-on target difference with ESM Lions-after an 8-2 Mauling of hill heads, and as a result they remain in the lower sport. Fraser Moran was the top scorer of Wildcats with five, and the others came from Hamish Galt, Adam Mackenzie and Dutchman Just Noordzij, a two -squeeze from Ewan Campbell was Hillhead’s answer.
In the last outing Drew 1-1 in Titwood against Clydesdale, the fallen points means that the Lanarkshire side goes to sixth place in the table. Ian King was on goal for the home team, while Louis Gardiner got the goal of Uddingston.
In the only Premiership match of the day of the day, St. Andrews University made use of the lack of competition to go in the second position in the table after a 10-0 win over Aberdeen-Ze Leiden Wildcats on Target difference. The visitors admitted that they were surpassed in pace and skills. There were each two goals for Reese Wearren, Hannah Coull and Iona Syme, while Ellen Sloss, Amy Edgar, Maggie Carter and Kelly Smith were also on goal.
