Division One: Grange 3, Edinburgh University 1
Frank Ryan scored a double as Grange picked up three valuable points in their bid to chase down Division One pace-setters Bromac Kelburne.
Coach David Knipe guided his men to a 3-1 home win over Edinburgh University at Fettes.
Irish-born Ryan broke the deadlock for the home side with a penalty corner strike and the scoreline stayed the same until the break.
Then Luke Cranney made it 2-0 also from a penalty corner early in the second-half.
Edinburgh refused to throw in the towel and Ewan Mackie netted to give them hope with 15 minutes left.
The students upped the tempo looking for another goal and shortly afterwards Grange had a man on the sidelines after a yellow card.
Despite being down a man, Ryan eased nerves when he scored his second for the home side from a penalty corner to secure the points.
