Hockey: Grange in front as Kelburne breathe down their necks
The Edinburgh club have 29 points following Saturday's 3-0 victory over eighth-placed Dundee Wanderers at Peffermill. Kelburne have 28 points plus two games in hand and a better goal difference.
Grange, however, are digging deep and a double from Martin Kelly and a single from new signing Matt Connor saw them home on Saturday, but it needed two superb stops by Spanish goaltender Jeppo Torens near half-time to deny the eager Tayside attack.
