Defending champions Inverleith go goal crazy in Perth
The defending champions claimed 18 goals in two games at Bell’s Sports Centre, Perth with only one in reply. Their goal-hungry players collected nine unanswered goals against Glasgow-based PSL Team Sport Clydesdale and followed up with a 9-1 victory over Hillhead.
Stuart Neave’s men have 12 points after five games, and sit one behind leaders Bromac Kelburne – the front-runners in the outdoor title race – who are the only unbeaten side in this year’s event.

Neave said: “I’m very happy. 9-0 and 9-1 are good results, especially in our second game against Hillhead where we were down to four players at one point in the game.
“The most pleasing aspect of our play – other than winning – was the continuation of our good team defensive play.”
Edinburgh’s other competitors, Grange, won 3-1 against bottom club Uddingston Riva and sit fourth in the eight-strong league which now shuts down until January 14 for the festive break.
