Western Wildcats Hockey Club

Two tough games and two draws as our first teams each got their first point of the season.

The girls played out a 0-0 draw with Dundee Wanderers in a game where both teams had chances but the goalkeepers were too good (or not well enough tested) to concede. Most notable was Jane MacLauchlan's early penalty save. The boys were behind at half time at Edinburgh University but battled back for a 2-2 share of the spoils despite not playing particularly well. Scott McCartney and Niall Sommerville were the goalscorerers for the second week running.

The Women's 2s played out an entertaining 3-3 draw with a goalkeeper-less Kelburne 3s. Wildcats were three up having spurned a penalty stroke chance but a lack of ruthlessness let Kelburne back into the game. The 3s lost to Hillhead 5s.

The Men's 2s lost 4-2 at Inverleith 2s and played some good stuff along the way. The 3s eventually clung on for a 6-4 win at Dumfries while the 4s beat East Kilbride 2s 6-2 with the EK goalie pulling mover a number of superb saves. The 5s lost 4-1 in a good game against Greenock 2s.
