The indoor season has now reached its halfway point with both men and women reasonably well placed.
The women are, again, making a very good fist of the short-sided code. They lie fifth having lost only two of their seven games and face champions Dundee Wanderers, fifth place CALA and eighth place Waverley in the pool phase of the competition. Each team retains the points already accrued against those in their pool and plays each other once. Thereafter, crossovers determine final position and entry to the grand final.
Kaz is delighted with how things are going. “We have taken a smaller squad this year,” she said. “However, it’s working well. We are playing good hockey and targeting a play-off place. Alex is scoring a lot of goals and Rachael, our captain, has been excellent. It’s been very enjoyable and we are looking forward to the pool games.”
The men are a little less well off. They are sixth with two wins from seven games and face second place Menzieshill, third place Kelburne and seventh place Grange in their pool. The same format applies as the girls.
There are no games this weekend but on the weekend of 17th (men) and 18th (girls) the league recommences.
