CHILL OUT THE FREEZE
The Solway Sharks
travelled down to North Wales on Sunday evening and
returned with two more valuable league points after
a convincing eleven-one win.
Calum
Henderson got the Sharks off to a flying start with
a goal from close range a minute into the game and
added another in similar fashion seven minutes
later. Adam Reynolds made it three on the twelve
minute mark and added his his second with a
short-handed effort two minutes later. Flintshire
grabbed a lifeline when they scored in a goalmouth
scramble with two minutes remaining in the session
although the referee confused many supporters when
he restarted from the face-off circle as a penalty
had occurred after the goal was scored.
After
the break Solway took command with two quick goals
after the restart from Reynolds and then Tonnar on a
powerplay before the Flintshire netminder became the
first of two players to receive a five plus match
for a slash on Tonnar while the play was dead.
Reynolds quickly made it seven-one with his fourth
of the night but little else troubled the scorer
before the break.
In the
final session Sharks added four more goals through
Mark Gallagher, Stevie Adams (2) and Nathan Salem
while Kenny Williams became the second Flintshire
player to receive five plus match for what the
referee perceived to be a check to the head although
it looked more like an accidental elbow.

BAKERS DOZEN
MOVES SHARKS CLOSER
The Solway Sharks moved two points closer to the ENL
North 2 title with a comfortable but unconvincing
13-1 victory over the Lancashire Raptors on Saturday
evening but it was the visitors who earned the
plaudits for their plucky display.
Despite
dominating possession the Sharks found it difficult
to break down a spirited Raptors side at the Shark
Tank and had to wait until the nine minute mark to
open the scoring when Struan Tonnar converted a
Nathan Salem pass. For the
remainder of the first session the home side scored
at regular intervals to make it seven-nil at the
break with goals from Salem (2), Reynolds (2), Gold
and a second from Tonnar.
Many
supporters might have envisioned a landslide from
that point on but the Raptors regrouped and showed a
large degree of grit to restrict Solway to four
goals in the second period with Adams (3) and Goldie
finding the net.
In the
final session the Raptors grew in confidence and
despite Gallagher and Chalmers finding the net to
increase the home sides advantage the visitors
refused to give up and were rewarded for their
efforts when Peter Tapp scored a consolation goal
with six minutes remaining.
A full
