Double victory helps Scots avoid the drop
A hat-trick by Menzieshill striker Chris Wilson was the catalyst in a 5-3 triumph over Portugal. After a nervous opening spell the Scots went in front with a straight flick by Inverleith's Stephen Dick at a penalty corner. Wilson struck the second before the Portuguese pulling one back, but Wilson quickly made it 3-1 at the interval when he converted a set-piece.
In the second half Josh Cairns converted after a penalty corner and although the Portuguese brought the score back to 4-3 with two minutes left, Wilson scored from another set piece for his hat-trick.
Playing with aggression the Scots forged an early lead against Belarus, Ross McPherson scoring after 30 seconds. Stephen Dick,
Chris Wilson and a Josh Cairns double earned a 5-1 victory.
