Weekend Teaser: What to expect as the Bees take on the Pitbulls and Wildcats

    What does weekend twenty five have in store for the Bees? Season weekend twenty four review  Last weekend the Bees had a double header with the Hull Seahawks, facing them on Saturday in Slough before heading to Hull on Sunday. Although the Seahawks numbers were depleted through bans they proved to be the better team on both nights. Saturday night saw the Bees on the wrong side of a 4-1 scoreline. Bees only goal was scored by Will Stead and assisted by Marcel Balaz and Dominik Gabaj. Sunday the Seahawks won 6-2 with Emil Svek scoring a hat trick. The Bees goals coming from Marcel Balaz assisted by Ralfs Circenis and Ty Cathcart, and Stuart Mogg who scored unassisted. My opinion - The Seahawks have been clinical with their play against the Bees all season and were unexpectedly disciplined over the weekend and maybe a little fortunate on Saturday that the officials decided to overlook or possibly miss a few calls. I felt the Bees missed Liam Morris and Marcus Mitche...

   What does weekend twenty four have in store for the Bees? Season weekend twenty three review  The Bees were on the road first with a fixture at the Sheffield Steeldogs. The Bees knew they had a chance as the Steeldogs were still reeling from losing Sam Tremblay to the Steelers however it was the Steeldogs who made the best start taking a one goal lead into the second period. They were to double that lead before Hallam Wilson got the Bees on the scoreboard although the Steeldogs soon restored their 2 goal lead on the powerplay. Hard work from the Bees was to see them draw level by the end of the second period with both Liam Morris and Dominik Gabaj beating Curtis Warburton. A Steeldogs goal at 54.22 gave them the lead yet again and the Bees were forced to pull Max Wright for the extra skater but sadly this did not pay as the Steeldogs scored on the empty net and the game finished 5-3. Max Wright had a save percentage of 90.48 on the night, considerably better than his c...

    What does weekend twenty three have in store for the Bees? Season weekend twenty two review  The Bees had a double header weekend playing the Telford Tigers at home on Saturday night before heading to Shropshire the following evening. It's fair to say that the Tigers came out fighting on Saturday evening and the Bees were unable to play their style of play that has given them recent success against the Knights, Lightning and Wildcats and they found themselves 3-0 down by the 35 minute mark. The Bees did get on the scoreboard at 35.14 when Liam Morris put away a precise pass from Ollie Hemmings-Maher although the Tigers were to score again just 17 seconds later. A second goal for the Bees in the period scored by Dominik Gabaj saw the Tigers take a 4-2 lead into the third. They extended their lead again less than 5 minutes into the third and although Dominik Gabaj was to score his second goal of the night at 53.41 the Bees were unable to score again and the Tigers ...

   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...
