Head coach Lol Paul was delighted with his teams performance
in both games “I could not have asked for more from all the guys they were
clinical and did what I asked of them”
Saturday night’s game at home against Altrincham Aces was
all one way traffic with the Chester road men taking charge from the first
whistle out shooting the opposition by 60 shots to 23.
Simon Furnival opened the scoring with two goals early on in
the period to set the tone for the night then five unanswered goal in the
second period from Supa, Lovell, Jones ,Parsons and Dixon put the game to bed
for Deeside. A final goal from Palak to make it 8-0 was the icing on the cake.
Paul was pleased with both his defensive and attacking units
“we did the business at both ends of the rink with George Cox in net shutting
out the opposition and the forwards putting 8 goals past their netminder it was
the perfect game for us on the night “
final score Dragons 8 Aces 0
Sunday night saw the Dragons take a trip to south Yorkshire
to face Hull Jets in the second game within 24 hours, and with the Robert
brothers not icing due to family commitments this was not going to be an easy
game for the league leaders after last night emphatic win.
Palak opened the scoring for Deeside with a shorthand goal
whilst Parsons was in the sinbin for a cross checking penalty. Despite having
another 16 shots on goal the Dragon could not increase their lead and the first
period end 1-0 to the Dragons.
The North Wales team came out fast and furious in the second
period with two goals in the opening minutes from Furnival and Chappell to
force Hull to call a time out and slow the game down but it was not till 8
minutes later that the home team manged to peg the Dragons back with a goal
from Harry Bridges.
Minutes later it was that man again Adrian Palak assisted by Paul Davis to make it 4-1 to the visitors with a shot to the top corner that left the goalie stranded, Hull managed to pull another goal back and the end of the period from Kieran Beach to half the deficit and give the home team a fighting chance going into the last period.
The final period started much the same as the send with the Dragons getting on the score sheet early with Furnival second goal of the night which knocked the wind out of Hulls sails and, three more unanswered goals from Dixon Chappell and Williams put the points in the bag for the Dragons.
