Welcome to Big Puck reports. This feature used to be called the Iceman. Feature and Big Puck in the same sentence could cause a problem or two so we decided on ‘reports’ as the working title for this feature.
Yet again we will be following the pride of Essex – the Chelmsford Chieftains. Our very own TOWIE, Pete Lewis will be providing us with the reports, directly from the club.
We join 11 matches into the season; the Chieftains are top of the pile with 9 wins 1 draw and only 1 defeat. So to start, here is last weeks match report. COME ON YOU CHIEFTAINS!
Chelmsford Chieftains 12 Bracknell Hornets 1
16th October: ENL1: Riverside Ice Rink, Chelmsford.
Recently the Chieftains smashed the Hornets in a 12-0 drubbing at the Hive in Berkshire, however the Hornets were at least able to claim a goal this time around, but were still hit for 12 in a one-sided drubbing. Danny Hammond set the ball rolling with an early goal before Nick Minhinnick levelled things up, but then it was all one-way traffic. Hammond netted again as did Jakub Klima and Alan Green got the first of his hat-trick goals before the first period was over.
Into the second and things went from bad to worse for the visitors as Klima, Green and Gary Clarke all netted. Green was then involved in some fisticuffs with Graham Bellamy of the Hornets after the Bracknell defenceman offered to go with Chelmsford forward. Green dispatched Bellamy as easily as the Chieftains were finding the net and the crowd were lapping it up. As things progressed into the third and with the game lost Bracknell coach Bill Webb opted to switch netminders and on came Mark Petch, but he didn't fare much better as the Chieftains forwards were in riotous mood. Tom Long, Darren Brown, Klima again and then Green completed his hat-trick before Ross Brears rounded out the scoring late on.
This gives the Chieftains a great motivating boost as they go into next weekend when they come up against the always tough Milton Keynes Thunder before they take on crisis club and big rivals Invicta Dynamos on Sunday in Kent. The Chieftains are on a great run of form at the moment having only dropped points in 2 of their 12 league games this season and will be looking to build on the confidence built up this weekend.
Meanwhile the second side, Warriors, are celebrating a fine 4-2 win over then league leaders Peterborough Islanders and gave them their first defeat of the season. The Warriors have moved into 5th position and are looking stronger by the week. Man of the Match was Dave Abbott in goal and was well deserved.
The big clash of the season in league 2 happens next Saturday night at the Riverside when the Chelmsford Warriors go into battle against Romford Fury. Expect sparks to fly between the two sides as there is no love lost and both sides are looking for bragging rights over the other. The night after the Warriors make the short trip to East London to face the Lee Valley Lions.
