Field hockey – Grange taking one game at a time

Division One pace-setters Grange will be at full strength for their home clash with city rivals Watsonians on Saturday (14.00).

They lead long-time leaders Bromac Kelburne, the defending champions, by one point with three games left of the regular season.

But senior Grange player Andrew Brogdon said the club continued to take one game at a time even with only three games remaining in the regular season.

Brogdon said: “It is a good position to be in and it is in our own hands but we are only focused on our next game.”

Watsonians coach Mike Leonard must lift his men following a 6-0 home defeat by Western Wildcats last Sunday.

Leonard said: “We were disappointed on Sunday but three points from the win over Edinburgh University from a good performance was pleasing.

“There will be pressure on Grange as they are at the top of the table and we are missing a few but you never know.”

Meanwhile, Edinburgh University, who are seventh, face a must-win home clash with Hillhead (push off 16.00) who have 14 points and are one point adrift in eighth position.

Elsewhere, second-placed Kelburne travel to second-bottom PSL Team Sport Clydesdale and Grove Menzieshill, who are third, travel to bottom club AAM Gordonians. Western host Uddingston.
