England U19s 4 Scotland U19s 2
This was an entertaining game and lovely to see the stars of the future in action. Unlike previous years the Scotland U19s have improved greatly and it was nice to see them keep the game very close.

Nottingham Under 10s Exhibition Game
There is something incredibly endearing about watching a bunch of kids between 6 and 9 playing hockey in a pad that dwarfs them and with gear that makes them look comical (especially the netminders). It was fun to watch these kids just out there having fun playing hockey.

Sheffield Steelers 2 Nottingham Panthers 0
Well this game was not as expected! Sheffield Steelers played a hard attacking and close defensive game just as they had yesterday but for some reason Nottingham Panthers completely changed their tactics and played a dump and chase game that left them on the back foot most of the time. To be fair, Jody Lehman (Steelers netminder) was on fire but there were times that no matter how hard they tried Nottingham just couldn't buy a goal! Although it was a disappointing result the best team won and the Steelers claimed their second title this season and became League and Play Off Champions.

Following the game we scooted off to Wetherspoons to have a meal before driving back to SWF. Fun and games reigned with confusion over the order and then refunds and stuff but we ended up having a nice curry and then headed back for a good night of sleep! It was a fantastic weekend, very nice to get away and spend time together and also took Toni's mind off of her divorce court case on Monday.
