Weekend Teaser: Pitbull double header to end 2023

 

Bees double header with Raiders didn't go to plan

Raiders too strong for the Bees

Bees had their traditional double header with Raiders starting with a home game in Slough on Boxing Day. Bees were missing Marcel Balaz, Vanya Antonov, Josh Kelly and Harvey Stead and to be honest it was clear that one or two players were carrying injuries which inhibited their ability. It simply wasn't Bees day who were definitely second best to a great performance from the Raiders who won 10-1 with Bees only goal coming from a breakaway taken superbly by Adam Rosbottom.
The Bees faired a little better in Romford but still were second best to a rejuvenated Raiders team who came out 5-2 winners on the night. Bees goals came from Marcel Balaz and Dominik Gabaj. 

Player of the Weekend Results

Congratulations to Liam Morris who received 50% of the vote, with Adam Rosbottom and Will Stead tied for second with 18.8% each.

Up next a double header with the Pitbulls

Pitbulls have not had the best of season so far however will be buoyed by a win in Swindon on Boxing Day. They did have a good win in Slough on their last visit and will be looking to repeat it. There are a few former Bees in the Pitbulls line up; Dan Bradley and Juha Lindgren. Bees will be looking to take some points from the Pitbulls having fallen a couple of league positions since Christmas. The game in Bristol on Saturday faces off at 7pm and Sunday's Neon New Year game in Slough has a face off of 3.30pm.

Safe travels to the players and fans of both teams. We'll be there to bring you updates.

   What does weekend twenty one have in store for the Bees? Season weekend twenty review  The Bees had a rare Friday night fixture with the Bristol Pitbulls who are their nearest rivals in the league table. The Pitbulls travelled without one of their imports and it looked like the Bees were in control at the end of the first as they led 2-0 thanks to an even-handed goal scored by Will Stead and a PPG scored by Josh Smith. The Pitbulls came out fighting in the second and by 25.10 they had brought the scores level with goals from Butler and Harewood. Josh Martin then scored for the Bees on the powerplay but in the last minute of the period Hill scored to bring the score level at 3-3 going into the break. Just over two minutes into the third Dominik Gabaj scored Bees fourth goal of the night, again on the powerplay and the Bees held on to the slender lead for twelve minutes until Cochrane scored the equaliser for the Pitbulls. There were no further goals in the third or in t...

   What does weekend twenty two have in store for the Bees? Season weekend twenty one review  The Bees travelled to Swindon on Saturday to take on the Wildcats who are a serious contender in the league title race. The Bees have a knack of raising their game against the top teams and this is exactly what they did. The Wildcats took the lead early in the first with a goal scored by Aaron Nell but Bees' Ralf Circenis brought the scores level before the end of the period with a powerplay goal. With no goals in the second period there was all to play for in the third. Bees took the lead for the first time thanks to a powerplay goal scored by Will Stead timed at exactly 43 minutes and just over 7 minutes later the Wildcats equalised, Ryan Wells the scorer. The goal announcement hadn't even finished as just 20 seconds later Dominik Gabaj gave the Bees the lead again. The Wildcats then gave all they had and a goal scored by Malasinski in the 57th minute drew the scores level agai...

   What does weekend twenty have in store for the Bees? Season weekend nineteen review  It just wasn't the Bees weekend. Having seen off the Knights and Lightning over the previous two weekends it seemed the team had turned a corner on the bad luck they had suffered with a depleted roster due to injuries. It also looked like Vanya Antonov leaving to ply his trade at Swindon would not have a significant impact on the team but the team was to suffer defeats home and away with a 4-1 loss in both fixtures. The Telford Tigers travelled to Slough on Saturday and their imports were to dominate scoring all four of their goals. Bees goal was scored by Josh Martin, his first goal since he returned to the Bees last month. On Sunday the Bees travelled to Leeds to take on the Knights who are now in a title race battle with the Lightning and the Wildcats. The Bees took the lead in the first period with a goal scored by Dominik Gabaj but the Knights were to equalise before the end of th...
