Last weekend the Lions played their North London rivals, Haringey Racers, in the inaugural Richards Cup. The Cup, played at both teams’ rinks, was in aid of the British Heart Foundation and in memory of Dave Richards Snr. The Racers were the winning team, the scores being 5-2 at Lee Valley and 3-2 at Ally Pally. Pat Ayling kindly took some photos from the home leg and they’re available on the Photos page here.
