Grand & Great Grand Masters 4 Nations Round Up

Scotland’s Grand & Great Grand Masters hosted a 4 Nations tournament at the weekend, and although the event at Peffermill was an over all succes, results on the pitch didn’t quite go Scotland’s way.

There was a disappointing end to the Home Internationals at Peffermill on Sunday 12 July when Scotland Grand Masters, with the majority of possession, failed to take their chances and allowed Wales to snatch two early goals, from which they never recovered, going down 3-1 in their final match (scorer Gordon Loudon) and dropping to third place. Goals by Gordon Loudon and Alistair Ogilvie had given Scotland a 2-1 win against Ireland on the first day and the team had put up a battling performance against England, going down 2-0 on Saturday 11 July.

Wales Great Grand Masters avenged their defeat by Scotland in the Celtic Cup earlier this year by hitting them with three goals in the last five minutes on Friday 10 July to finish 4-1 winners in a match which had looked like finishing in a draw. Scotland had taken the lead through Colin Tucker in the first quarter but were pegged back on the stroke of half time. With an already depleted squad further reduced by injury, Scotland went down 7-0 to a very strong England team on the last day of the tournament.

As expected, England comfortably retained both trophies, the very impressive Great Grand Masters team going through the weekend without conceding a goal, and the Grand Masters comfortably winning all their matches. Scotland continue their international season on August 21-28 in London, when the Grand Masters team will hope to gain revenge on Wales in their group which also includes France, Germany and Netherlands. Scotland Senior Grand Masters (Over 70) will be competing in the European Cup for the first time and play in a round robin competition with England, Germany and Netherlands – a tough challenge ahead but one which the squad are looking forward to greatly.
