Peterborough Phantoms

And the final fixture we didn't mention because it will lead us nicely into talking about this weekend.

And it was the Peterborough Phantoms getting an overtime victory.

In Nathan Pollard's first game as head coach at Breton, obviously he was head coach for the game the previous night, but his first home game as head coach, getting an overtime victory against a Raiders side that are doing incredibly well, that would have gone down like a treat, and especially in a game that they trailed all the way until overtime.

Oh, absolutely.

Now, the Steel Dogs are a team that are probably one of the more unpredictable teams in the NIHL.

They'll have a weekend where they'll go and beat...

Leeds Knights which they did a couple weeks ago they beat the Peterborough Phantoms quite comfortably but then they fell early doors to Telford and to Solway and they dropped a massive loss really in MK and then two overtime losses to Romford.

So it's a weird sort of, Sheffield have always been that odd mixed team that you don't really know what you're going to get from them.

We'll have a look at that next week as well.

And then Peterborough Phantoms 2, they host the Lee Valley Lions and the Eddie Joseph up at Planet Ice, Peterborough.

It's a Sunday.

That's a fucking late start that is in Peterborough.

Uneven team, yeah.

But we'll rattle through these.

So, Baselstead Bison 2 are hosting the Peterborough Phantoms 2, so returning on what they did on this Sunday.

6.45 down at Planet Ice in Basingstoke.

I have ice hockey and phantoms and head coach of party company, after a slow start.

Peterborough Phantoms have parted company with head coach Ash Tate.

Tate left the club two days after back-to-back defeats to the Hull Seahawks, continued an indifferent start to the National League season.

Assistant coaches Nathan Pollard, Jan Lackanen and Tom Norton have been placed in interim charge.

There wasn't many on the game sheet for either side, but it was the hosts that came away with a very big win.

And it's been a bit of a turbulent week for the Phantoms.

They've not had it easy.

And you've just got to hope that they can get maybe a new coach in and they can sort of turn it around because it's not looking great for them at the moment, is it really?

No, it just seems to be something not right there.

I don't know if it's been recruitment or what.

It seemed that Tate and the Phantoms parted ways.

I'm not too sure whether it was one, if it was a mutual agreement, one was forced out or if Tate went.

know.

And then still on Saturday, Peterborough Phantoms versus Bays and Stoke Bison.

There you go.

That's your chance.

Still got the victory.

And Peterborough Phantoms hosted the Hull Seahawks.

Hull getting the victory down in Brighton five goals to three.

I think there was a fight in that as well, Josh Hodgkinson and Joe Gretton, um, going at it and it's always a feisty fixture between those two.

Over to you, Sadie.

And Peterborough Phantoms showed impressive powers of recovery to beat Leeds Knights 3-1 in Sunday's National League clash at Planet Ice.

The city side had been duffed up 9-2 by the same opponents in Yorkshire just twenty-four hours earlier.

But goals from Luke Ferrara, Adam Burg and Dom Grabarczyk, and an outstanding display from netminder Matt Hennessy ensured revenge arrived quickly.

But it was Liam Steele playing down for the Dogs, um, that got the winner for them on the Friday night.

On the Saturday night, Peterborough Phantoms went to Basingstoke.

The, the t- that, that was a fixture that was the first league opener for Bison last season back at their barn, and Peterborough got the win in overtime.

That was a result that I think shocked a few people, um, as well with Basingstoke being unbeaten at home, and it was Dom Grabe that got the winner.

Sheffield Steel Dogs beat the Pitbulls five goals to one.

Um, Romford Raiders lost 5-1 at home to Leeds Knights, bouncing back after that difficult game against the Lightning on Saturday.

Um, and then the Swindon Wildcats took Peterborough Phantoms six goals to three, um, down in Bratton.

Good result for Swindon away from home.

Also representing Powell were 13-year-old Patrick James Maughan and 16-year-old Dylan Watt.

And ice hockey, Peterborough Phantoms enjoyed a brilliant start to the National League season with a 6-4 win at reigning champions Swindon Wildcats.

But they couldn't maintain that level the following night despite a positive start to the game as they fell to a 7-4 defeat at the hands of Basingstoke Bison at Planet Ice.

Still, after losing all four pre-season matches against divisional rivals, a two-point return could be viewed as satisfactory ahead of a tough double-header weekend against play-off champions Leeds.
