Scotland win against France at Peffermill

Scotland's senior women's hockey team edged France in a training game at Edinburgh's Peffermill Playing Fields in front of an encouraging crowd. The 2-1 victory was hard-fought and the game is a prelude to a Test double-header at the same venue on Saturday (11.30) and Sunday (11.15) against the same side. The Scots edged ahead in a scrappy game in the first half, which they largely dominated, from a penalty corner converted by Amy Costello, but France levelled seconds from half-time, a real blow. The visitors pressed Scotland in the opening minutes of the second-half but Chris Duncan's side gradually won back control and forced a number of penalty corners which they failed to capitalise on. However, Scotland took full advantage of a mistake in the French defence to net the game-winner in the dying minutes, a slack pass finding Scotland skipper Sarah Robertson who fed Fiona Burnet who fired home from close range. The games come as the Tartan Hearts continue their build-up for the EuroHockey Championships in Monchengladbach, Germany, from August 9 to 17.
