NORTH AYRSHIRE PREDATORS v SOLWAY SHARKS U16's

IN their first game of the year, Predators were keen to make it a home win.

With the rink buzzing from the Stars win and a few of the boys back on ice again, it was to be a great game and Predators came out hard and fast and took full advantage of Solway playing short-handed with a player in the penalty box. They scored two quick powerplay goals, swiftly followed by another two before the end of the period, which finished with Predators leading 4-0.

The second period started just as it had left off, with Predators scoring another three goals inside four minutes, making it 7 -0. Predators then bagged another goal. It looked like Solway had given up, however they staged a comeback which saw them win that period and bag three goals as it ended 8-3.

It was a great game and Predators were the more disciplined and hungrier team.

Goals: Antony Curlett x 3, Dylan Murray x 2, Jack Neil, Haydn Woods and Josh Carslaw Man of the Match: Josh Carslaw.
