DALY ENDS SCOTS CHALLENGE by Pat Rowley

Surbiton’s Matt Daly scored two goals in the last four minutes to give Saxon Tigers a 6-4 victory over Caledonian Cougars, and ended the challenge of the top Scottish side for a place in today’s men’s final of the Great Britain Super League at Belle Vue, Manchester. The Cougars’ failure to win meant an all-English final between Saxon Tigers and Wessex Leopards. Tigers led 3-1 early in the second half but the Scottish side had rallied to 4-4 with six minutes remaining. Richard Alexander, James Tindall and Andy Cornick (2) scored Tigers other goals; Mark Ralph, Stephen Dick and Kenny Bain (2) for Cougars.

Pennine Pumas, the third English side, prevented an all Scottish 3rd place match today when Adam Dixon netted twice in the last four minutes to give Pumas a 4-3 win over Scotland’s other side, Highland Jaguars.
Sunday's women’s final will also be between Tigers and Leopards.


Full results and latest tables will be posted to this blog later this evening (Saturday).
