Lookers of Yardley Solihull Barons : 3
Sunday 3rd January 2016

This past weekend saw the Lookers of Yardley Solihull Barons emerge with a share of the points after a gruelling two away games in as many days.

On Saturday the Barons made the trip to Sheffield to meet the Sutton Sting. The last meeting of these sides on Sheffield ice led to defeat for Solihull and for the first two periods of the game it looked as though this encounter would be no different. After 40 minutes the Barons had conceded three goals for no return and were for much of the time a step behind the home side. The final period would however see a dramatic Barons comeback with Solihull camped out in the Sutton end. A pair of goals by Tom Soar sandwiching an effort from Niklas Ottosson brought Solihull level. And with less than two minutes on the clock Niklas Ottosson would net the winner for the visitors to bring two points back to the Midlands.

On Sunday Solihull made the long trip North to take on the Billingham Stars but would return with nothing to show for the motorway miles. It would be the Barons who would score first, Ed Eaton finding the net in the first ten minutes only to see Billingham pull back level after twelve minutes. The Stars however made the most of the home ice to begin a second period scoring spree, finding a way through the Barons defences no less than four times. The Barons would pull a couple of goals back via Tom Soar and Niklas Ottosson to make the scoreline a little more balanced but another comeback was not going to happen.

The Billingham Stars will visit Solihull this Sunday offering the Barons an early opportunity to redress the balance against the Teeside team. Face-off 6:00pm
