Styx Tournament - Winners - Lions Hockey Club
Lions Captains - Message I would like to thank the Lions on a great tournament, we deserved the trophy.
The team played well in all the games but were a bit heavy after lunch, thanks to the cooking of Zack, and we let Exiles beat us(2-0).
Both goals were courtesy of Steven (playing goalie) being caught off his line and being rounded by the keeper.
We started the tournament well by beating Styx 2-0.
The next game against a mixed team (Exiles and Styx players) the Lions played superbly, passing well from side to side and eventually winning the game 4-0.
After the hiccup against Exiles, and when the food partially digested, we played ESOBGA.
After Mohammed messed up his one-on-one with the goalie (which the goalie saved superbly) the lions went on to score the all important goal which gave them a 1-0 win and top the log.
The final was between the top 2 teams on the log, Lions and Exiles.

The Lions won the final 1-0.

Many thanks to all that took part.
