Hockey: Steven Glass hits a high five as CALA demolish Waverley

A first-half nap hand by CALA Edinburgh's new recruit Steven Glass, signed in the pre-season from Dundee Wanderers, knocked the stuffing out of Waverley Inveresk Trinity as CALA romped to an 8-1 victory in the opening fixture of the Subway national league division two.

CALA started proceedings at Meggatland with a minute's silence for former player Richard Docherty, who died recently at the age of 27.

The home side's other goals came from David Guy, Mike Rae and Karl Clarke.

Elsewhere, Watsonians opened their campaign with a 4-2 win over Mango Optical Uddingston and two second- half strikes from Mike Watson and Euan Jeffray provided Falkirk with a narrow 2-1 victory at Harris.

In the women's second division George Heriot's scored a single-goal victory over Waverley but Erskine Stewart's Melville and Watsonians lost their opening fixtures to GHK and Borders Fjordhus respectively.
