Points and Pride : The Barons welcome old rivals to Hobs Moat

The TC Cars Solihull Barons have a busy weekend coming up with the long trip up to Dumfries to take on the Solway Sharks on Saturday and are then back on home ice on Sunday and will be hungry for points against old rivals the Nottingham Lions.

The two sides last met competitvely in Nottingham at the end of the 2014-15 season, with the Barons coming out 7-2 winners to cap their league winning season and promotion to the Moralee conference. This sadly meant the old rivalry going on ice for a couple of years but come Sunday the two sides will once more clash sticks and blades.

Both sides have shown real promise this season but have so far struggled to put points on the board making Sunday’s clash all the more important.
