Panthers Come 2nd In National Finals
Kingston Panthers made history this weekend by making the final of the BIPHA National Championships, losing narrowly to Hallamshire Hornets.
Panthers went 1 up thanks to Tim McKay in the opening minutes, but Hallam equalised on the powerplay before ending the period 2-1 up. Phil Gowland then got an equalising goal making the score level at 2-2. Most of the final period was in gridlock but Hallam broke down the Panthers defence to score 2 goals within 3minutes of each other. With the score at 4-2 the Panthers desperatley tried pulling the game back, and in the final 2minutes of the game, Nic Gowland was pulled to give Panthers the extra man. This gamble failed to pay off as Pearson from the Hornets scored an empty net goal making the game a closely fought 5-2 victory for Hallamshire Hornets.
Kingston Panthers would like to wish Hallamshire Hornets good luck in the European Championships where they will be flying the British flag, competing with the best teams in Europe.

PANTHERS DO DOUBLE !!!!
The Kingston Panthers made history this weekend by winning the Viking Cup after seeing off close rivals Snaith Stormers.
No team has ever won both the North East Viking League and the Viking Cup in one season, but the Panthers silenced all the critics who predicted either Leeds or Snaith would prevent Kingston from winning the cup.
After cumfortably beating Midlife Madness in the semi-final, the Panthers were to face Snaith Stormers in the final.
This game proved to be one to remember. Referee Richard Hunter even stated that it was the best final he had ever reffed.
Being only one 20 minute period, neither team could make a mistake, however the Panthers ended up killing penalties for 8minutes out of the opening 10. After successfully killing the penalties, the Panthers got in their stride and mainly dominated posession before Tim Mckay scored two thirds of the way through the game.
This proved to be the game winner in a game that ended 1-0.
The Kingston Panthers are now fully focused on the Nationals which are this coming weekend and are going into the tournament in good form.

Panthers Shut-Out Renegades
Panthers shut-out Teeside Renegades this Sunday with a 2-0 win that keeps their unbeaten run alive.
Panthers had most of the posession through out this game, and Teeside only looked to be a threat on the odd occasion as they sat behind the puck for most of the game hoping to only catch the Panthers on the break.
This tactic from Teeside proved to be effective as the score at the end of the first period was 0-0.
This was soon turned around as Panthers opened the scoring early in the second period with a slap shot from point coming from Alex Jones, assisted by Kris Gowland.
This seemed to increase Panthers will to win and the next 10 minutes showed plenty of Panther posession and opportunities which didnt eventually materialise into goals.
However just after the mid way point in the second and final period, Mike Catchpole scored with a tip-in coming from a superb pass from John Bolton.
A.Jones (1+0) , M.Catchpole (1+0) , K.Gowland (0+1) , J.Bolton (0+1)
Kingston Panthers are now sitting 4points clear at the top of the BIPHA North-East table with 6 games, 6 wins, 60 goals for, 6 goals against.
