The Ice skating tonight took an unexpected turn when we were challehged to a match!! The Californian Cougars took on the Newport Ninjas in an intenseley fought contest that saw Newport place a respectable second best 3-1(this was in part due to Newport fielding a side that included several 14 yr boys, a cheerleader, a 76 yr old ski instructor and serval staff who had never held a stick before). Jake Hillcoat spent more time on the floor than on his feet, Ashley frost was an animal in attack, Jack Buckley took out several Californians with his elbow and Sean Johansen kept out a flurry of american strikes when he came on as a late sub for Watty. Ryan Smith let the whole side down by putting on an opposition shirt(but we won't hold it against him for much longer than a year or two). The Bettws Fireflies gave an awsome display on the sidelines cheering our team on, even Nicole came on late in the second half to add here wicked slapshot!! A great time was had by all and the photo's are online now to have a look at.
