Scimitars hit 12 goals in cracking weekend

A four point weekend marked a sparkling start to the season for Scimitars.

A full strength Scimitars' team faced an improved Swindon squad for their first League home game last night, and although they did not dominate the game in the way they had the previous night, they worked hard for the win.

Sheffield started last night's game with a goal in four minutes 4.12 by Dowd, who won a face-off, and then found the net from a rebound off his initial shot.

Sheffield increased their lead with a great close-range goal by man of the match Brittle from an accurate pass by Slamiar at 15.50.

Swindon goalie Brabon made some good saves but was unable to save Slamiar's shot off a neat pass by Moburg at 35.40 giving Sheffield a 3-0 score-line going into the 2nd period break. Swindon got a consolation at 48.06.

An excellent win in Telford had set the tone for the weekend.

Butterworth 2+3, Wallace (MOM) and Dowd 2+2, Brittle and Goodman 1+1, Slamiar 1+3, Moberg 0+3 and Morgan 0+1.

The game even had a couple of fights with young Lloyd Gibson giving a larger import opponent much more than he expected, followed shortly after by Dowd responding to Ashley Stanton dropping the gloves.

Scimitars entertain Peterborough on Saturday at iceSheffield (7.15), and away in Peterborough on the Sunday.
