Western Wildcats Hockey Club

Congratulations to our Men's 2d Team who yesterday lifted the District Plate after a 4-1 defeat of Perthshire at Glasgow Green.

An unfamiliar looking 2s side started the game brightly but found themselves a goal down midway through the second half to a determined Perthshire team. However, they turned things around courtesy of two Graeme Watson penalties and went in 2-1 up at the break.

The second half was extremely tight with Western having the goalkeeping exploits of the excellent Murray McDiarmid to thank as Perthshire searched for an equaliser. However, with only a few minutes remaining Neil Galloway finally put the game out of sight after he linked well with Barry Kane. Galloway put a nice sheen on the final scoreline with his second and Western's fourth with just six seconds left on the clock.

With captain Fraser Crawford away it was stand-in skipper Simon Dick who stepped up to collect the club's second piece of silverware of the weekend.

Well done all concerned!
