Kingston Tournament Review – Day 1

The following is a review of the Cobras progress in their recent tournament:

GAME 1 vs Grimsby Lightning
The first game of the weekend saw Kingston up against local rivals Grimsby for the fourth time this season. With the previous three games being fairly tight Cobras were keen to get off to a good start and they raced into a 5-1 lead with just over five minutes on the clock. Cobras added two more before the period was over to take a 7-1 lead into the break.

The second period proved frustrating for the Cobras, despite outshooting their opponents 17-7 they were held to a 1-1 tie, meaning despite an 8-2 victory the Cobras took 3 out of the 4 points available from the game.

Cobras Stats
Andy Ward (2+0), Kristaps Pete (2+0), Andy Daintith (1+0), Mike Forbes (1+0), Chris Hogarth (1+0), Liam Sewell (0+2), Gary Embrie (0+2)

GAME 2 vs Northern Ireland Prowlers
Cobras looked to build on their good start to the tournament against newcomers Northern Ireland Prowlers, playing their first game in the tournament against the hosts. Once again Cobras came flying out of the blocks taking a 4-0 lead within the first five minutes. Cobras continued to bombard the Prowlers net adding a further four goals to take an 8-0 into the break.

Looking to avoid a repeat of game one the Cobras came out firing in the second period with Kristaps Pete claiming a hat trick of goals in less than three minutes. With victory all but sealed the Cobras took their foot off the gas a little in terms of shots, however still managed to take the second period 7-0 giving them a clear 15-0 win.

Cobras Stats
Kristaps Pete (6+0), Liam Sewell (2+3), Mike Forbes (1+4), Andy Ward (1+1), Chris Hogarth (1+1), Gary Embrie (1+1), Rob McKirdy (1+0), Andy Winn (0+5), Tom Hartley (0+1)

GAME 3 vs Solihull Vikings
Game 3 saw the Cobras face their Midlands rivals Solihull Vikings, who were looking to avenge the 10-2 defeat two weeks earlier. The game started at a tense pace as Cobras attacking attempts were nullified by the Vikings defence. However eight minutes into the first period Kristaps Pete broke the deadlock with a goal assisted by Tom Harley and Andy Winn. Cobras would add a further two goals before the end of the first to take a 3-0 lead before the half way mark.
The second period took a similar pattern to the first with the Cobras looking threatening but not taking advantage of their shot totals. Despite outshooting the Vikings 17-7 in the period the Cobras missed out on a period win bonus point after Ant Rogan scored shorthanded (30.40) to cancel out Liam Sewell’s goal for the Cobras. Final score 4-1.

Cobras Stats
