And the coach hopes regaining the Scottish indoor hockey title will act as a spur.

The Edinburgh-based side have only earned one point from their ten games since being promoted from Division Two and trail second-bottom Uddingston by six points.

Neave’s men visit Edinburgh University on Saturday (Peffermill 4pm) with the students fifth in the table with 13 points from ten games.

Neave said: “I was absolutely delighted with the team’s performance throughout the (indoor) season. Now we know we have a different challenge.”

At the other end of the table, Grange have 29 points from 11 fixtures and hold a six-point lead over second-placed Kelburne but the Edinburgh side have played a game more.

On Saturday, they visit third-placed Grove Menzieshill, who have 21 points from ten outings.
