18&Under Team Game

The second period saw much of the same as the visitors netted another three goals with Holyhead unable to answer back.

14&Under Team Game

Matthew Birch, Mark Parry and Scott Craven had all played up in the previous 18's and so it was hoped they wouldn't be too tired to put in a good performance against the Vikings. This proved not to be the case as Mark scored four times and Scott scored once but also got two assists in helping Mark get his four for a first period lead of 5 - 2. Mark again scored after receiving a pass from Scott, before Matthew's pass was hit first time by Scott to bag his second goal. There was some great last man defending by Ian Owen and netwminder Kyle Thorney-Potter was in good form when the Vikings did break through. Mark then scored again for Holyhead to go into the last period leading 8 - 4. The last period was very tight with both teams' netminders putting in good performances, whereby the only goal came from Llandudno where they reduced the final score deficit to 8 - 5 in favour of the Trojans.

Scorers and assist were Mark Parry (6G), Scott Craven (2G & 4A), Matthew Birch (1) and Ryan Twiss (1A)

Patrick pulled off a number of good saves in the final period to restrict the visitors to an 8 - 0 win and Gwilyn Jones was always tackling hard in defence.

The Pirates were unable to field a team so they forfeited the match and the Holyhead Trojans get the 2 points.

14&Under Team Game

This was the Trojans first match of the season, and a tough test against the formidable Predators from Deeside, who this season have only been able to field a 14&U team, but who were league and play-off champions last season. Holyhead's 14&U netminder was unable to play, so the 11&U's netminder, Patrick Edwards, bravely stepped into the breach.
Holyhead seemed unfazed as Dale Stalman broke down the right and then passed into the path of Mark Parry who was able to open the scoring by slotting the puck home under the netminder's legs. Mark next shot hit the post, but the rebound was put away by a grateful Dale to get his first goal since moving up to the 14's age group. The Predators hit back before Mark's shot from out wide found their keeper napping and restored their 2 goal advantage. Again the visitors scored before Mark went past three players to again score. The Predators then staged a mini comeback to end the first period with a 5-4 lead.
Soon into the 2nd period the visitors increased their lead to 6-4, before Mark got his 4th.This period saw tit for tat scoring with both sides getting another goal each to go into the final period with the Trojans trailing by a single goal 7-6.
The final period saw Myrddin's speculative swing shot from the half way line find the back of the net, before the Predators then went on a goal spree against a now exhausted Trojan team. Mark was able to find the back of the net again, but it was small consolation as the score ended 15-8 to the Predators.
This was a good team effort from all, with Mark, Scott and Matthew Birch in particular showing their experience.
