Victory double for Scottish HockeyScotland women edged South Africa 2-0 in the opening fixture of a two-match series at Peffermill, Edinburgh, as they continued their build-up for the FIH Hockey Women’s World Cup. Goals from Heather McEwan and Amy Costello made the difference in a match they controlled for much of the proceedings after making a powerful start.
