Win v Swindon

Saturday night saw the Statesmen play our old friends and foes from Swindon, having not played them (unusually) in a year. In what is traditionally a good close contest saw the Knights score first after 10mins on a breakaway goal from Geoff Collins. The Statesmen then levelled off a nice goal from James (100th point & 400th for Ty) after 18mins to end the period.
The second period was scoreless but there were a lot of chances for both sides to take the lead. The Statesmen finally took the lead with a goal from Ty the Statesmen to go up in the game with 7mins to go and held off a Knights surge in the end to claim the well deserved victory with the Statesmen showed some real consistency and good transistional play lacking in previous games.
