Second place Deeside Dragons actually drew level on points
with Nottingham at the top for 24 hours after their 3-8 win away at Hull Jets
on Saturday night. But, despite having a superior goal difference
to the Nottingham side, the Dragons still remained second due to their inferior
playing record against the lions.
Nottingham then regained their two point lead on Sunday night, although
they have played three games more than the Dragons.
Third placed Widnes Wild lost ground on the top two with a
4-4 draw away at local rivals Altrincham Aces. The Wild were leading 2-4 with 15 minutes to
go but were pegged back with the GTG being scored by the Aces’ Joe Greaves with
5 minutes to go.
Next weekend sees 4th place Blackburn Eagles –
who are on the back of a 5 game winning streak – face Widnes Wild home and away
on successive days while Deeside Dragons have the chance to go top of the table
with a home game against Hull on Saturday and a visit to Coventry on
Sunday.
