The Solihull fans did not have to wait long to see their side take a lead they would never loose, Josh Bruce making no mistakes less than two minutes into the game with a shot to the top left of the Whitley net. Short of fourteen minutes a penalty killing Solihull eased out their lead when a break away run by Luke Brittle was thwarted by David Longstaff hooking the Barons forward to set up a penalty shot which was confidently slotted home by Brittle. By the end of the period Solihull were three up with arguably the goal of the night, Adam Brittle clearing the puck from the Barons end to Ed Eaton loitering near the Whitley blue line who skated in on the Warriors goal. His initial shot was parried, but Eaton deftly picked up the rebound, and rounded Richie Lawson in the Whitley net for goal number 3. More here.
