Western Wildcats Hockey Club

The Men's 1s enjoyed a very profitable weekend with two hard-fought wins over Clydesdale at Auchenhowie. On Friday night they had enough for a 3-1 win in front of a healthy crowd with Ian Moodie(2) and Scooter  scoring .Today they held their nerve to win a penalty shoot-out after a 2-2 draw in the cup. Scooter got two in the first half but spurned a number of chances thereafter. It was down to stand-in goalie Dave Whiting to save two Clydesdale efforts for a 4-2 victory on strokes.

Elsewhere yesterday, the 2s dug out an excellent 1-0 win at Edinburgh University 2s. Workshy layabout Andrew Sewnauth finally lived up to the penalty corner hype for the only goal of their game. The 3s maintained their 100% record with a pleasing 5-2 win over Uddingston 3s. MacKenzie (2), Sturrock, Andrew and Amit Marwaha did the damage. The 4s were excellent as they put Glasgow University 3s to the sword. Perhaps the students' team talk helped ("If we don't get double figures against this lot there'll be fines tonight lads"). Final score: 4-1 to Western. The 5s lost 3-1 despite playing well.

The girls were beaten 5-0 by title contenders Edinburgh University yesterday. But won 6-1 against ESM 2s in the cup on Sunday
