SCOTLAND'S HOPES DENTED by Pat Rowley


Scotland’s hopes of contesting the men’s Great Britain Super League final next Sunday, were severely dented with the comprehensive 4-0 defeat of Caledonian Cougars, their top side, by Wessex Leopards, one of the three English based outfits in the 6-team event, at Swansea yesterday.
Leopards, with four goals from Martin Jones and three by Simon Mantell, look title favourites after scoring 14 goals without reply over the week-end.
Saxon Tigers will make it an all English final, if they draw with the Cougars next Saturday.
The English teams continued to dominate the women’s competition. Saxon Tigers are strongly placed to finish first. They conceded their first goal and dropped their first points in a 1-1 draw with Wessex Leopards. Hayley Brown gave them the lead with a superb strike but Jenny Hall quickly levelled.
