Division One (men): Grange 4, Grove Menzieshill 1; Western Wildcats 1, Bromac Kelburne 4; Uddingston Deans Eng 2, Hillhead 0; AAM Gordonians 2, Edinburgh University 1; PSL Team Sport Clydesdale 0, Watsonians 0

EDINBURGH University’s hopes of finishing in the top four at the end of the regular season nosedived at previously pointless AAM Gordonians.

The Aberdeen side secured their first win of the season at the 11th attempt at the expense of Graham Moodie’s men in the shock result of the day.

Elsewhere, the leading two sides in Scotland’s top division moved further ahead of the chasing pack.

Pace-setting Bromac Kelburne won 4-1 at arch rivals Western Wildcats to claim their tenth win in 11 league games and move to 30 points.

Edinburgh-based Grange, who are second, beat third-placed Grove Menzieshill 4-1 at Fettes to take their points tally to 25 from eight wins in ten games.

Uddingston Deans Eng beat Hillhead 2-0 to move into fourth place while second-bottom PSL Team Sport Clydesdale earned a point in a 0-0 draw with Watsonians.
