Five Nations: men: Scotland 3, USA 1 (in Malaga)
Scotland men won their opening match in a five nations event in Malaga as the build-up to the Commonwealth Games hots up.
Debutant Rob Harwood, Willie Marshall and Wei Adams netted in the 3-1 success over USA.
The final Commonwealth Games selection will be announced on February 14 and Scotland face Canada on Tuesday and then Ireland and Spain.
Scotland got off to a flying start in blustery conditions when they took the lead through an early goal, Harwood (Western Wildcats) scoring on his international debut.
Scotland’s second came after 26 minutes, Surbiton star Marshall, a former Kelburne player, slamming home a penalty corner.
USA scored early in the second-half but Scotland stepped up their play in the final quarter Scotland survived.
Then they pounced when Reading star Lee Morton, another ex-Kelburne star, picked up the ball on halfway and beat several players before he fed German-based Wei Adams (Dusseldorfer) who unleashed a rocket into the top corner.
