Tonight The Stingrays where host to the Guildford Flames in their first game against FBNL opposition and not much has changed since last season. The Stingrays took the lead; the refereeing was awful and yes, Hull then threw the lead away.

Kahut opened the scoring for The Flames just before the 10 minute mark but Slava Koulikov soon pulled it back while Baird was sitting out a 2 minute penalty for slashing. Luke Boothroyd got his first goal for the club when he came out of the penalty box just in time to put away a Scott Wray rebound.

Dru Burgess finished of a beautiful move after work from Wray and Glowa on 32 minutes. Slava Koulikov could have put Hull three in front after Nikoleav broke free down the wing and put Koulikov free in front of the net but a great save denied him. Hull Stingrays received two penalties in the last minute of the second period to leave them 5 on 3 for the beginning of the third period but they managed to keep The Flames until the 47th minute when Baird scored and only 5 minutes later Potts scored to equalize the match at 3-3.

With just under 58 minutes gone, the referee called a penalty on Guildford's Kohut for face off violation (another of Evans' daft calls) but then to even things out he penalised Burgess for slashing 30 seconds later. Smerciak hit a slapshot from the blue line and beat Kundra above his glove. With the first two periods over and The Stingrays totally out-playing Guildford, it looked all over but The Stingrays came out a different team.

We didn't throw this game away - we gave it to them. Man of the match Guildford Bielik Hull Glowa

	I am an amateur angler, mostly river fishing as a youth at a time when televisions were black and white. I was 14 maybe, I had my own rods (3) and tackle, a selection of floats, some ledger weights, hooks and line, all kept in our shed alongside my recent purchase of maggots. I always took great pleasure in seeing my four sisters scream and run at the sight of these little yellow .. Read more...
