Ice hockey – Racers set for Scottish Final

Murrayfield Racers look to have booked their place in the final of the Scottish Cup.

Sean Donaldson was Man of the Match as the Capital combine thrashed Kirkcaldy Kestrels 6-0. Ian Coyle sent us the image.

A large crowd saw the home side win the first period 1-0 and Racers were 4-0 ahead at the end of the second session.

The second-leg is at The Fife Ice Arena on Saturday, March 9 and on this form Racers will be confident of keeping Kestrels at bay on the night.

Elsewhere, Fife Flyers were delayed returning from Saturday night’s Elite League clash at Belfast Giants because of bad weather.

And their scheduled fixtures with runaway league pace-setters Cardiff Devils was postponed.

Dundee Stars were edged 5-4 after overtime at Coventry Blaze.

And Glasgow Clan were 2-0 ahead at home to Guildford Flames but lost 3-2 also after overtime.
