TC Cars Solihull Barons : 5
Blackburn Hawks : 3
The TC cars Solihull Barons put in a strong performance on Sunday in their final league game of the season to emerge victorious over Blackburn Hawks, clean sweeping the Lancashire side in this years Moralee Conference. With league positions decided for both sides, the points for the victory were of minor importance but with play-offs starting in less than a week keeping the wins coming was important.
The opening ten minutes of the tie saw no scoring but with the Hawks generally carrying the bulk of the play as Solihull struggled to generate sustained offence. This initial spell was however broken by a fight as Baron Steven Heape and Hawk Corey Stones tangled after 4 minutes. As the period ticked on the Hawks pressure started to tell and a race up the ice by the visitors culminated in Blackburn forward Josef Istocy firing the puck into the roof of the Solihull net for the visitors opening goal. By 16 minutes this lead had stretched to three, Kieran Brown and Istocky once more doing the damage.
