    What does weekend twenty eight have in store for the Bees? Season weekend twenty seven review  Last weekend the Bees had a double header with the Raiders who were keen to clinch their playoff place. With Bees now playing for pride and to avoid the wooden spoon we saw two teams who really didn't want to lose. Saturday saw the Bees make the journey to Romford and in a game where the lead changed several times and that required overtime to separate the teams, the Raiders came away with the second point. Bees goals came from Dominik Gabaj (2), Will Stead and Hallam Wilson and in goal was Dean Skinns who actually recorded a better save percentage than Owen Rider in the Raiders goal. Final score 5-4 to the Raiders. Sunday was a special day in Slough as the Bees went "retro" to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the club winning the Superleague title in the 1999/2000 season.

   What does weekend twenty six have in store for the Bees? Season weekend twenty five review  Last weekend was the Bees chance to take themselves off the bottom of the league and although four points was their aim, the fixture against the Pitbulls was the one that really counted. The Bristol team have definitely had their fair share of problems over the last few weeks as they battled on with a depleted team. For them things seemed on the up as all those on the injured list returned to the line up against the Bees but it wasn't to be enough for them. The Bees dominated the game coming away with a 5-1 win. Every Bees player gave their all but the star of the night was Adam Rosbottom who banked a hattrick. The Pitbulls were the first to score but once the Bees got started there was no stopping them, the goals coming from Adam Rosbottom (3), Marcel Balaz and Dominik Gabaj. Sunday saw the Wildcats visit Slough and the Bees were not able to replicate their superb performance o...
