WHEN Matty Davies decided to take the plunge and head up his home city’s latest hockey franchise it was exactly games like tonight’s NIHL National Cup Final that he was thinking about.
It’s been well-documented how tough Hull Seahawks’ first season in the second-tier was, beset by problems and issues on and off the ice - most notably the late arrival of their import players - it was little surprise that they missed out on the play-offs, eventually finishing bottom of the regular season standings.
But for Davies and his players, there is little to fear. The head-to-head series between the two has seen them come out on top by three wins to two and, crucially, they are the only team to win in Milton Keynes this season. Come the second leg, that small psychological advantage could prove critical to the overall result. “Look, they are a good team, no doubt and what they’ve been able to do at home is obviously testament to that,” said Davies.
