Last nights win was the 8th win in a row for the Giants which leaves them knocking on the door of a personal record.

From the Belfast Telegraph:

“Blaze suffered a hangover - literally - after clinching the title with a 5-1 home win over Edinburgh and couldn’t cope with a Giants team that clicked superbly in an eight minute spell to clock up a club record equalling eighth successive win.

It is the most league games that have been won in a row and with two more outings coming up on the final weekend of the season, coach Ed Courtenay would love to make it a perfect ten.”

Just to put things right, the win last night may have been the eighth but does not tie a club record.  The club record is nine wins in a row from 3rd December 2005 to 7th January 2006 when the Giants won eight league games and a British cup game.  It isn’t the most league games won in a row but it did tie the record for league wins in a row over that same time spell minus the British Cup game.

The Giants play Manchester on Sunday with a win there tieing the all-time wins in a row record and breaking the league wins in a row record.  Here’s hoping…
