Blackburn Hawks lost their first league game in almost 2
years with a 4-2 defeat away at Moralee Conference leaders Whitley Warriors. The
Hawks are now five points behind in second place but have 4 games in hand over
the Warriors. The two teams play each three more times in the next 4 weeks.
Third place Telford Tigers saw their game away at Solway
Sharks called off at the last minute after the match officials failed to arrive
due to road closures and flooding. An attempt to secure local officials to ensure
that the game could go ahead was unsuccessful so the Tigers made the long
journey home again without setting foot on the ice.
4th place Solihull Barons closed the gap on
Telford with their 6-2 win at home to Sutton Sting and are just 1 point behind
having played the same number of games.
The other Moralee game of the weekend saw Billingham Stars
move back up into 5th place after an 11-4 win over bottom club
Sheffield Senators.
