Double defeat for Invicta Dynamos against Bristol Pitbulls and Romford Raiders
Comments |
After recording five wins in a row in the English National Ice
Hockey League South Division 1, Invicta Dynamos suffered a double
defeat at the weekend.
The biggest surprise was their 6-3 home loss to the Bristol
Pitbulls on Saturday, and then on Sunday they went down 5-2 at
leaders the Romford Raiders.
Against Bristol, whom they had already beaten twice this season,
the Dynamos suffered a disastrous first period which ended with
Kevin Parrish's (pictured) side trailing 4-1 after taking the lead
inside the first minute through Ryan Ellis.
The Pitbulls hit back in style through Egidijus Bauba (3) and
Shannon Taylor, and then Steve Osman made it 5-1 early in the
second period. Ellis reduced the deficit to 5-2 before the start of
the final frame, but Bristol wrapped up victory with a sixth goal
from Sam Feeney before Callum Fowler scored Dynamos' third goal
five minutes from time.
Then, 24 hours later, Dynamos suffered their third road defeat
of the season at the hands of the Raiders.
After a goalless first period, Romford led 2-1 by the end of the
second period through goals from Anthony Leone and Matt Turner,
with Andy Smith on target for Dynamos.
Invicta equalised early in the final period through Callum Best,
but the Raiders then stepped up a gear to show why they are top of
the table and were rewarded with three more goals from Danny
Marshall, Shaun Wallis and JJ McGrath,
