League leaders Solway Sharks took a step closer to the Moralee Conference (North 1) title with an 8-5 home win over Whitley Warriors while second place Blackburn Hawks drew 3-3 away at Sheffield Spartans.
This means that the Sharks just need to take one point from their game away at Billingham Stars this evening to win the title for the second successive season.
A full round up of all the weekend games in NIHL North 1 & 2 will be posted on Monday.
