Players new and old have been signed by the Lions this week. Young forward, Chris Fox, joins us from Streatham Redskins, whilst Calum Heath has recovered from injury and has decided to re-join Lee Valley.
Lions Fall to Heavy Defeat in Slough. Remain Winless.
Lee Valley’s early season woes continued as they lost 15-4 at Slough NIHL Jets.
A brace from Scott Beeson, one from Richard Hodge and a first senior goal for Jordan Jones were not enough as a strong Jets side ran rampant late in the second period, cruising to a big win and leaving the Lions nursing a 7th straight defeat this season.
Period scores were 4-1/5-2/6-1
Man of the Match was Joe Berry.
Change to date of Invicta home game

Lions 3 Peterborough 5
2-0 down after the first, the Lions pulled goals back in the second though Richard Hodge – assisted by Scott Beeson – and Adam Peach from a pass by Joe Berry. The Islanders went ahead again at the start of the third and made it 4-2 shortly after. Phil Carson shot in number three for Lions but Islanders scored a fifth to take the points. Aaron Mallet was once again busy in the Lions net facing 48 shots. Joe Berry was MOM.
Ruth Cattell rejoins the squad
I’ve been informed today that back-up netminder Steve Grout has chosen to go to Romford, which means Ruth Cattell is now able to rejoin the squad on a regular basis.
