Watsonians remained on coarse for a glory treble with a comfortable 5-1 win over Clydesdale Western in their Scottish Cup semi-final at Glasgow's National Hockey Centre.

The newly-crowned Premiership champions did not take long to hit the net, Sarah Jamieson scoring on a counter-attack and the in-form Edinburgh side made it 2-0 when Genevieve Hussell scored with a deflection following a penalty corner.

Keith Smith's side continued to press and Clydesdale goalkeeper Cara McAllister was forced to make a quality stop from a Jamieson shot to prevent the Capital combine going 3-0 ahead.
