TC Cars Solihull Barons : 5
Solway Sharks : 3

(Barons progress to semi-final 9-7 aggregate)

With Saturday’s first leg quarter final at Solway leaving the sides tied on 4 goals apiece, Sunday’s tie was to be a winner takes all decider – the victors heading to the semi-finals, the losers left to put away their hockey gear for another year and dig out their best golfing slacks. With this in mind the sides took to the ice at Solihull with the intention to make sure their season would not end over the weekend and prove themselves the best of the old school national league sides.

With such high stakes it was the Barons who laid their cards on the table after four minutes as Luke Brittle, Ed Eaton and Niklas Ottosson executed a training night special, crossing the puck over the Solway crease two times before Ottosson fired into the Sharks net. Solihull doubled their lead midway through the period with a Tom Soar effort on the powerplay as the Barons forward shot low and through the legs of Calum Hepburn in the Solway net for goal number 2.
