EuroHockey Nations Trophy 2007

Wales v Scotland

Wednesday 12th September 2007

Wales have it all to do.

Matt RuxtonWales continue to struggle to capitalise on their mid-field dominance. In the first twenty minutes Wales dominated with three clear chances to take the lead. However the accuracy of their shooting let them down with just one shot rebounding of the post. After twenty five minutes the Scots got their first short corner and suitably converted it. Five minute later after a similar situation they doubled their lead.

Ollie Cooper powers his flick inTwo nil down at half time became three nil from a another short corner in the second half with the game now getting extremely physical. With continuous breaking down of play there were a total of five yellow cards and with fifteen minutes remaining the Welsh got their first short corner. Ollie Coopers flick was parried by the keeper however three minutes later he was not so lucky and the Welsh got a goal back. Wales should have got another short corner moments later but were further penalised by the umpires.

Ben Rodgers wins outTwo minutes later Ollie Cooper was stick tackled twice by Scottish players as he entering the twenty
five but maintained possession. With a one on one with the keeper they whistled for a Welsh free hit. Frustration over decisions boiled
over and Ollie was yellow carded for hitting the ball away. A harsh decision after two clear foul but an easy one for an umpire to make.

3 – 1 to the Scots was the final result and the Welsh boys have it all to do if they are not to be relegated to the C division.
