SCOTS LEAD SUPER LEAGUE AFTER FIRST WEEKEND

After the first weekend of action in the GB Super League it was the Scots who were making the pace in the men’s tournament. On Saturday Stephen Dick and Graham Moodie were on scoring form as Caledonian Cougars met the Welsh contingent of Celtic Panthers. The next day they met fellow Scots from Highland Jaguars. In a free scoring match Dick scored a hat-trick to give the Cougars a 7-3 victory. However, future matches may be more testing for the Cougars, as they have yet to play any of the three English teams. Wessex Leopards are looking the strongest of the trio at the moment, with a 6-3 victory over Pennine Pumas on day one, followed by a 3-3 draw against the very strong Saxon Tigers side.

The Scots faired less well in the women’s tournament, with only Highland Jaguars picking up any points. Saxon Tigers have been the stand-out team so far with Canterbury’s Cathy Gilliat-Smith scoring four over the two weekend matches.

The tournament now moves on to Swansea for more action next weekend.
