12 NOV 2005 - Clydesdale 3 - 3 Menzieshill

Graham Dunlop returned from injury to help inspire Clydesdale to their second point of the season. Three times Clydesdale fell behind by a goal to the visitors from Dundee and three times Clydesdale fought back to equalise. Clydesdale managed to score with only nine men on the pitch after both Ali Bleach and Gary Maitles had seen yellow within seconds of each other.

The 2nd team were 2-0 victors at home to Carnegie but the 3rd team lost to table topping Anchor 1-2 despite playing some very good hockey. The 5s fulfilled their commitment in the reserve cup in a long trip to play Menzieshill 3s at DISC. Unfortunately Bradley Morrison paid an unscheduled visit to Ninewells Hospital with a broken wrist and we wish him a speedy recovery. The 6s won their third game of the year with a magnificent 2-0 victory over GHK3s on the grass which may help the 5s move up the league towards promotion.

Greaves Clydesdale won their first point of the season in a thrilling 2-2 draw with Edinburgh Hockey Club at Leith Academy on Saturday.

With one game left against Menzieshill before the season splits the Firsts can look forward to being very competitive in the second half of the season.

Clydesdale 1sts travelled to Carnegie to play the second division side, and also to teach them a lesson in hygiene! Clydesdale took away the win from Carnegie, but the match was not without incident!
