FIH Women’s Champions Challenge I Result, Glasgow National Hockey Centre, Scotland
Scotland (Ali Bell 13') 1-2 Belgium (Lieselotte Van Lindt 39', Barbara Nelen 53'
Scotland Senior Women Head Coach Gordon Shepherd was disappointed, but not downbeat, following the match, “I’m disappointed with the result but not with the performance the players put in. I thought they put a great effort in on the pitch.
“Tactically I thought we were ok, we had our opportunities from both penalty corners and open play to get the second goal but we missed out by a fraction each time. That’s international hockey sometimes.”
The national side go on to face India tomorrow evening (19.00), a challenge Shepherd is relishing, “I’m really looking forward to tomorrow night and it’s great that we’re straight back on the pitch against India. If the players can build upon the performance they put in today with the same intensity then I’m sure we can get a victory.”
