CURTIS WARBURTON felt Deeside Dragons produced their best performance of the season versus Hull Jets - and the team will be looking to emulate that this weekend.
Dragons made it three wins from three starts in the new Moralee Division season with a 5-2 victory at home to Hull, while next on the horizon is Sunday’s home clash with Billingham Stars.
Goaltender Curtis Warburton (pictured), the MVP against Hull, told the club: “I feel like that’s the best we’ve played.
“Like, the team’s really growing and it’s good to see. But, I feel like we were good both ends (against Hull), like, made my job pretty easy.”
Warburton turned away 35 of the 37 shots that he faced and he added: “That’s great, but... it was a great team performance.
“We weren’t really giving up much, especially odd man rushes. I feel like that’s something we’ve worked on in practice recently.”
Deeside have moved up into fourth place in the Moralee Division table with nine points from their three wins to date - and they have games in hand over all of the other teams.
Solihull Barons remain top the table with 13 points from five games, with Widnes Wild lurking close behind in second and defending champions Blackburn Hawks in third – on 11 and 10 points respectively.
Widnes play host to Hull Jets on Sunday, while Solihull travel to Hull tomorrow, before they play host to Sheffield Scimitars on Sunday.
Sunday’s other fixtures: Leeds v Blackburn; Nottingham v Telford. Tomorrow: Sheffield v Blackburn.
Deeside Dragons Seconds return to action on Sunday with their Laidler Division trip to tackle Billingham Buccaneers.
There’s two games this weekend for Altrincham Aces, who host Sheffield tomorrow, before heading to Kingston Sharks the following day.
Dragons women’s team is travelling to Altrincham tomorrow to take on Manchester Storm, where they hope to extend their own winning start to the season after two victories from their two starts to date.
