Hockey: Grange seek success on voyage to Discovery

GRANGE aim to preserve their three-point lead at the top of hockey's Division One when they travel to third-placed Menzieshill in Dundee.

The Edinburgh side go into the game with 19 points from seven games, three more than nearest challengers Clydesdale, who have played a game more, and four ahead of Menzieshill.And Grange player/coach Craig Harper is buoyed by the 30 goals scored so far by his men with only nine against.

"I was really pleased with last weekend's 5-0 win at Aberdeen, and we have to show the same determination," he said.

Elsewhere, seventh-placed Inverleith, boosted by their 4-2 win over Aberdeen at Meadowmill on Sunday, entertain the team immediately above them, Hillhead, at Meadowmill tomorrow (1pm).

Edinburgh University, who are ninth in the ten-strong league, travel to bottom club Aberdeen, who are pointless after seven starts. It is a game the students really need to win.
