On Sunday Sabres U14 D2 maintained their 100% win record but didn’t get things their own way against a talented and hardworking Deeside Junior Dragons in an entertaining game. Leon Shaw put Sabres 1-0 up at the end of the first in a period in which they were the better team. Deeside looked like a different opposition in the second but found themselves 2-0 down after Ben O’Brien had scored a well taken goal, however Deeside’s efforts were rewarded when they pulled one back to make it 2-1 at the end of the second. Sabres gained the upper hand when Leon Shaw scored a lovely delayed penalty goal to make it 3-1 but Deeside didn’t give up and took advantage when a lapse of concentration in defence was punished by the impressive Charlie Spidgeon who made no mistake to haul Dragons back into the game. It was hard to predict which way it would go but Sabres dug deep and worked hard to ensure that it was they who secured the points with Leon Shaw unlucky not to score again when he flicked one onto the piping. A gritty performance from Sabres in an enjoyable game for the spectator but not necessarily for the Coach!

Greyhounds U16 D2 enjoyed a 9-0 success over Blackburn to maintain their 100% win record which has seen them crowned as league winners. Blackburn pushed Greyhounds all the way in the first period but two decent goals; one for Gabriel Grzibovskis & one for Jack Brain put Greyhounds in control. It was soon 3-0 when a Blackburn player went to block a shot with his skate from Nathan Price only to help the puck on its way into the net. The second period was a lot closer although a good spell from Greyhounds brought a couple of good saves from the Blackburn netminder but he couldn’t do anything to prevent Luke Allen firing in after a lovely pass from Jack Brain had created the opening to see Greyhounds in front at 4-0. A Gabriel Grzibovskis hat-trick made it four for him as well as 7-0 for Greyhounds. Nathan Prince scored a lovely short-handed goal to make it 8-0 with Thomas Cope making it 9-0 to put away his own rebound after a very good initial shot had been well saved by Blackburn’s goalie. Another impressive performance for Greyhounds who’s season just gets better & better.

The same can be said for Lasers U12 D1 who enjoyed an impressive 13-0 away win against Kingston Hull to keep them in the hunt for glory in what turned out to be a very good day for junior hockey in Sheffield.
