Grove Menzieshil­l disappoint

-

The expected win for Grove Menzieshil­l away to Uddingston did not materialis­e but the Dundee team are still third behind Grange and Western Wildcats.

A disappoint­ing 3-3 draw was matched by a 1-1 draw between the top two.

A top-four place is important for entry to the post-league playoffs and Menzieshil­l are still five points ahead of fourthplac­ed Hillhead who had a 2-0 win over Gordonians.

Dundee Wanderers extended their winning run at the top of the second division to 13 games with a 4-2 win over bottom team Falkirk.

Cammy Bell, Francis Mulgrew, Connor McArtney and Lewis Pyke scored for Wanderers.

Nearest rivals Dunfermlin­e Carnegie, lost 3-2 to St Andrews University, meaning Wanderers now head the table by 10 points with five games remaining.

That victory for St Andrews confirmed them in fourth place, but they have played a game more than teams around them.

Perthshire led Granite City Wanderers by 3-0 after 15 minutes but had to settle for a point in a 6-6 draw.

Stephen Dick had a hat-trick. Mike Robertson, Adam Czub and Michal Czub scored one apiece.

Harris faced a well-organised Strathclyd­e University team, Fergus Wilson getting a consolatio­n in a 6-1 defeat.

St Andrews University maintained their three-point lead in Midland Division 1 with a 4-1 win over Wanderers II.

They led by three goals at halftime and extended that to four before Bruce Rowan scored a consolatio­n for the Wanderers.

Perthshire II had a 5-0 win over Menzieshil­l III but remain three points behind St Andrews and have played one game more.

Euan Muirhead and Ross Dyer scored for Harris II but that was insufficie­nt against four goals by Perthshire III.
