AIRPORT PLACEMENTS LIMITED SOLIHULL BARONS : 2
SOLWAY SHARKS : 3
The Airport Placements Limited Solihull Barons concluded their 2016-17 campaign with a highly creditable performance in their Moralee Conference play-off semi-finals held at Ice Sheffield over the past weekend.
Going into Saturday’s semi-final tie, the fourth ranked Barons were drawn against top seed and league winners, the Solway Sharks. The Barons had struggled against the Sharks all season, failing to earn a single point and amassing only five goals over the four encounters, giving a form book sided toward the Scottish side.
The Barons however stepped onto the ice with a clear vision, taking the game to the champions and would be first on the scoresheet – Josh Bruce slotting the puck home in the 17th minute. Solihull’s lead would however only last for a matter of seconds as the Sharks Kim Miettinen evened things up shortly after the restart.
