Many thanks to Sheffield Ice Tigers for hosting us in this game, and to Referee Pyatt for helping us get to grips with our first EIHA match.
Coach's Notes:
Playing in a hugely enjoyable game against a strong, skilled team, the Aardvarx were up against it right from the first face-off. Some excellently coordinated attacking play from the Tigers kept us well on the back foot for most of the game, but the Aardvarx seized on any chances we were given, and capitalised on three of them. The final score of 19-3 shows the admirable skill of the Ice Tigers, but also shown in abundance was the spirit of the Aardvarx, whose heads didn't bow once throughout the game. A pleasing result, and plenty of promise shown!
