Hide AdMcCurry said: “It was a game of two halves. We played well in the first but not in the second.
“The Presidents Cup is good preparation for the league but we’ll be going all out to win the cup on Sunday.”
A Graeme Campbell goal yesterday ended Edinburgh University’s hopes of making the final. The Hillhead player struck in the second-half to level after Jack Barnstock had opened the scoring in the opening period following a rebound from a penalty corner.
German forward Max Brors, whose goal beat Grange last Monday night, was missing because of flu.
Graham Moodie, the students player/coach, admitted: “It’s not all about one player. Yes we’re disappointed on missing out on the cup final but we didn’t deserve to win.”
