Hockey: Grange keep noses in front after drawspare

With testing for the Bahrain GP next month due to begin in ten days time, Gallagher said: "I think the sport needs a decision by the end of play on Tuesday at the latest."

Grange gained partial revenge on Glynhill Kelburne when they held the champions to a 2-2 draw in the game of the day in the Subway national league at Bellahouston, a result that leaves the Edinburgh side seven points ahead, although Kelburne still have four games in hand.

Grove Menzieshill failed to retain their status in the elite European indoor club championships in Lucerne when they went down 8-3 to English side East Grinstead.

Earlier the Dundonians were consigned to the relegation pool when they lost their final group match 11-2 to German side Mannheimer, despite goals from Ross McPherson and Josh Cairns.
