Kestrels v USA Military

[ronniemac]

In an entertaining game tonight the Kestrels were victorious over the visiting USA Military team by the score of 5/1.
To be fair to the USA players (who pretty much come straight to Kirkcaldy after a 9 hour flight)they took a full period to get their legs going and adjust to the big ice surface after which they put on a good show.
Kestrels took full advantage to run up a 4 nil lead in the first period with a good display and some excellent Tic Tac Toe goals, MOM for the home side was Robin Floyd.

Thanks ronnie. That would have been a game I would have gone to if not here in Spain. How are the Kestrels doing this season?

Currently lying in 4th place in a nine team league,not much separating the top 4 if games in hand give 2 points.
Reece Cochrane and Chad Smith (son of Davie) will be away with the under 20s GB squad for their World Championship at the moment along with Jordan Buesa who is doing well with the Flyers.
Games are entertaining for various reasons in the SNL, crowds could be better but their was a good turnout for the Military game, i went over to Murrayfield to watch the Americans play the Murrayfield Racers and the game went along nearly the exact same route, 4 nil down in the first period mainly down to Callum Boyd (3 goals) who had been playing in the EIHL before this year and the fact that Racers have 3 imports in their side all ex Capitals players.

Thanks Ronnie. I did not think imports were allowed in the SNL but then again the Flyers had an import when they were in the minor leagues. It is good to know new talent is coming through but they need ice time with the Flyers.
