Christmas came early for the fans who attended a fifteen goal game last Saturday. The Bees scored eleven of those, against London Raiders, who had beaten us twice earlier in the season.
It was a great night for the players and the fans.
The crowd always enjoy watching their team scoring. The players were buzzing as the score mounted. It made for a great atmosphere in the Hive.
And our Teddy Bear Toss was also a big success. Thank you for supporting a charity which will now bring happiness to a lot of children.
The previous weekend we had picked up three points from our two games. Could we do as well on Sunday against Sheffield on their home ice? Of course, a four point weekend would have been ideal, but we also had the opportunity to get our first back to back three point weekend.
This time, Sheffield scored an equalising goal in the last minute and went on to take the win after overtime and penalty shots.
It would be easy to read too much into our Saturday win and to be too disappointed by our Sunday loss. We’re playing well and showing improvement week on week. It’s a process and
I’m pleased with how we have developed in the first half of the season.
This weekend we’re on the road against two high scoring teams, Hull and Telford. We’re back again in Bracknell on Sunday, December 22 against Swindon.
If you’re looking for a great night out for your family, come and join us. I can’t promise another fifteen goals, but I can promise a couple of hours of exciting hockey.
