Tomi Domene fired home as Waterloo Ducks edged Scottish hopes, Western Wildcats, 2-1 in the EuroHockey League in London.
Charles Langendries had opened the scoring after 19 minutes for the Belgian outfit who were the 2019 winners of the top tournament only for Nikki Homfray, a product of the Glasgow club’s youth development system, to level for Western 11 minutes later.
The sides were deadlocked until Domene found the net for Ducks, who are enjoying their ninth season in the EuroHockey League, with seven minutes remaining.
It was Western’s second defeat in 24-hours after their 3-1 reverse against Wimbledon at the same venue on Saturday following a double from Sam Hooper. Impressive Jamie Golden scored Western’s consolation.
