Giants won their tenth straight game tonight in Cardiff to break a club winning streak record. The win puts the Giants in a strong second place in the league and baring down on the Coventry Blaze. The game also had a few firsts with Lewis Christie getting his first career point and Leigh Jamieson his first career hat trick. There was two fights in the game, both involving Carlyle Lewis and Brent Pope. An unusual combatant, Pope and Lewis appeared to be at each other thoughout the night.

Playing on a line with Ed Courtenay, Jamieson did what everyone who has played with Courtenay this season does – score goals. The Giants were in control on the scoreboard from the start and never looked back taking a 3-1 lead into the first break and a 6-1 lead into the second break.

The Giants now have two days off before a home clash with the physical Newcastle Vipers who wont want to face the Giants in their current form.

It was fight night in Belfast this Friday as the rough and tough London Racers rolled into two looking to mix it up with the Belfast team. It didn’t talk long for the action to kick off when on the second shift of the game and Mel Angelstads’ first shift he was asked to drop the gloves by London tough guy Jeremy Cornish. Mel obliged and a great scrap ensued with Mel getting the better of it and dropping Cornish.
