Sunday 23rd March 2025 – NIHL Laidler Division: 
Nottingham Lions 9 - Deeside Ducks 1

The Deeside Ducks rounded off their debut Laidler Division season with a 9-1 defeat away to Nottingham Lions on Sunday.

Having already beaten the Lions at home in Deeside a few weeks earlier, there were hopes that the Ducks might finish the season on a high note, but it was not to be.

Nottingham were on top pretty much from the start and led 3-0 at the first period break. It was 5-0 after two periods and 8-0 before Kieran Clarkson fired in a consolation strike for Deeside on 47 minutes.

A late goal for Nottingham finished off the scoring for the game and the Ducks’ first season of league competition was brought to a close.

They finish in 10th place in the Laidler Division table with 3 regulation wins and an overtime win from their 26 games.
