Win v Swindon

In what was another closely contested game between the old foes saw the Statesmen come out 7-5 winners. With 2 lines and borrowing Froudy, things could have started better for the Statesmen, but with Wednesday's game to get out of the system the Statesmen got the opening goal from Jamie O'Dell (first of a natural hat trick) after 8 mins, the Knights got back in the fray with a goal the 15min mark, but to the Statesmens credit no-one panicked and we got a goal either side of the 2nd period to lead 3-1.
The Knights were quickly back into it with a couple of goals 2mins apart to tie the game and took the lead a min into the 3rd period. The Statesmen then took the lead after 32mins only for the Knights to come back into it again and even it up a min into the 3rd period. The goals reflected the play and their were some good chances for either side to take lead, with the Statesmen finally able to do it with some very nice goals from James and another natural hat trick, with only their linemate struggling to keep up with the scoring:) The Knights finished off with a goal on the death but the Statesmen held on for the win. We look forward to playing again in the summer at a more reasonable time when some light refreshments can be had after.
MOTM James (though it should have been Jamie..)
