The Cardiff Ice Hounds take to the ice this Saturday, for their final 'pool' match, when they host the return fixture against the Bracknell Blizzards.
The Blizzards came out the victors in their first meeting down in Bracknell. But on that occassion, the Hounds had unfortunatley not packed their 'A game' and it seemed more a case that the Hounds lost the match, rather than the Blizzards winning it.
The two teams have been head to head all season, with the Blizzards just staying in first place ahead of the Hounds, but usually as the Hounds had games in hand. Until the Hounds' last match against Medway Madness, they had only failed to beat Bracknell and a win against the Madness would have put all the pressure on Bracknell to have to win this weekend's game, just to draw first place, as the competition goes into play-offs. But with the mass of injuries picked up during the Medway game,combined with not being able to get used to the 'special' set-up of the rink, the Hounds lost their match, meaning that both teams are even on points, going into the final match for both clubs (prior to play-offs). So as a result, both teams will be throwing everything into this game, as the battle for the first place finish and the accolade of becoming Southern Conference Champions.
As a result, the Hounds would love to get as much support behind the team on Saturday as possible, to hopefully witness what is already a great Southern Conference campaign, get even better.
So if you fancy some FREE summer hockey, Face Off will be at 4:30pm, this coming Saturday (24/07/10). Come down and bark out your support for the Hounds.
