The TC Cars Solihull Barons would count themselves unlucky to come out of Sunday’s tie against the Solway Sharks without a point after a hard fought battle full of determined play from both sides.
The initial five minutes of the game were played at a tremendous pace, the Barons keen to show the visitors they would be no pushovers, while the Sharks were no doubt glad to get the blood flowing in legs still stiff from the long bus trip down from Dumfries.
