A first period stampede from the Basingstoke Buffalo left the men (and lady) from East London still craving their first win of the season.

James Hatfull picked up the Lions’ only goal and Aaron Mallet returned to form with a 70 shot man of the match performance.

Next weekend, we travel to high flying Peterborough Islanders.

Period Scores: 5-0/1-0/1-1

A hat-trick from Scott Beeson, and a strong 1st period were not enough to stop Invicta running riot in the 2nd. Coming away with a 14-4 win at SilverBlades ice rink.

Period scores were 3-3/9-1/2-0

Man of the Match was Scott Beeson

Next week we travel to a strong Basingstoke Buffalo side. Hoping to stop the current run of results.

This Sunday the Lions travel to Gillingham to take on the Invicta Mustangs, hoping to avenge the heavy defeat inflicted on them 5 weeks ago. Face off at 5:15pm

The game was won and lost in the first period which saw the visitors build a 7-1 lead, not really a fair reflection of the play, but Invicta’s finishing allowing them to skate off with a big lead. The Lions goal in the first came from returning forward Calum Heath, assisted by Paul Myles and Adam Peach.  The Lions once again had a far stronger second period with sixteen shots on Invicta but had no goals to show for their efforts, while Invicta had a 6 goal period with Ruth Cattell replacing starter Adam Mallet in goal. In a 1-1 final period, Richard Hodge netted from a Michael Crosse pass with Scott Beeson getting a further assist, but another tough loss for the Lions.

The team now have a four week break until their next match.

Lions scoring:

Calum Heath 1+0

Richard Hodge 1+0

Scott Beeson 0+1

Michael Crosse 0+1

Paul Myles 0+1

Adam Peach 0+1
