Struan Walker sounded the start of a promotion party after Scotland men secured FIH Nations Cup hockey.
The first ever Men’s FIH Nations Cup 2 trophy went the way of the Scots after beating Egypt 4-2 in the final in Muscat. The Scots were 4-0 up before Egypt rallied with two goals in the last 10 minutes but the damage had been done.
Two goals from Struan Walker and strikes from Jamie Golden and Tommy Austin sealed the win for the Blue Sticks to play in the Nations Cup, the competition below the FIH Pro League.
Walker and Golden finished with eight goals apiece at the top of the tournament charts.
Walker said: “The party starts right away for us. The boys are absolutely on fire at the moment and that was a brilliant performance from some really talented players that we have in our side. A very deserving victory for us in the end I think.”
Earlier in the day, Poland edged past USA in the shoot-outs following an engaging 2-2 draw in normal time, to win the bronze medal.
Austria and Chile were also winners in the classification matches over China and Oman in the 5/6th place match and the 7/8th place matches respectively.
