The Direct Taxis Solihull Barons have a busy weekend coming with a trip to Blackburn Hawks on Saturday before welcoming the Whitley Warriors to Hobs Moat on Sunday evening.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Hawks have undergone a bit of a revamp, with a new management team coming in over the shut down following a relatively poor 2019-20 for the Lancashire side. While early results have not quite gone the way they may have hoped so far this year, a narrow to defeat last weekend to a strong Solway Sharks side will have given them some hope to build on and the Barons will have to be focussed to come away with a result.<\/p>\n

The Hawks last visit was back in 2019-20 (S Crampton)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

On Sunday evening it is the turn of the gritty but skilled Whitley Warriors to visit Solihull. A consistently strong side and Moralee Champions, the Warriors have brought in the highly experienced Robert Farmer (Nottingham Panthers \/ Lausitzer Fuchses \/ GB) and Stevie Chalmers (Coventry Blaze \/ Hull Pirates) to complement the likes of point generator Philip Edgar and the always physical Jordan Barnes.<\/p>\n

For the Barons a full squad is expected and after the disappointing result against Sheffield on Sunday, Solihull coach Callum Bowley was aware of the work to be done in what will be a testing couple of games this weekend.<\/p>\n

\u2018The weekend was a tough pill to swallow. I thought the first 15 minutes of the game we were by far the better team, but then as the game progressed we lacked concentration and gifted them with scoring opportunities.\u00a0<\/i>This is a game we have to put behind us as the games are coming quick and fast, with Blackburn and Whitley this weekend. <\/i><\/p>\n

\u2018This weekend we will look to regroup and put in a 60 minute performance in both games, looking to bounce back from last week\u2019s disappointment. Blackburn and Whitley both have a good mix of youth and experience in their line ups and it will be a tough weekend, however we are confident in our ability and we are looking for maximum points.<\/i><\/p>\n

Face-off on Sunday is at 5.30pm once more and we hope to see a big crowd to support the Barons and offset the Warriors always present travelling support.<\/p>\n
