Men’s hockey – it’s a stroll for Grange at minnows Perthshire
Scottish Cup: quarter-final: Perthshire 1, Grange 11.
Jamie Scroll scored on his debut as holders Grange eased through to the semi-final of the Scottish Cup.
The current Division One pace-setters hammered Division Two side Perthshire 11-1.
The Edinburgh side led 1-0 but gutsy Perthshire levelled before the holders upped the tempo to lead 6-1 at the break.
Former Great Britain and Scotland international Dan Coultas netted a hat-trick and Scotland under-18 star Jacob Tweedie and Frank Ryan both claimed doubles.
There were singles for Alan Johnston, Callum Milne, Greg Hopkinson and 25-year-old Scroll.
Ed Irvine, Grange’s manager, said: “Perthshire had a few periods of good play. On another day may have brought a couple of goals but Grange had the upper hand from half-way through the first-half.”
