Hockey: Inverleith coach eyes second title
Now retaining the championship is this year’s target for coach Stuart Neave.
Neave’s charges open today against Edinburgh rivals Grange, who came third in the league last season, and then tackle a Grove Menzieshill outfit that held the title for the previous seven years.

VWS Dundee Wanderers are looking for their third consecutive women’s title, but there seems to be a crisis in the camp. Long-term coach Iain Strachan appears to have walked out. Whether that is temporarily or permanently is not certain at this point, but the champions are actively seeking a replacement.
Dundee open against Cala Edinburgh and then newly-promoted Granite City Wanderers, and should still take six points.
