The basing state bison and the Swindon Wildcats weren't deterred by the snores Sunday when they met at the Plant Ice Arena. Swindon were the better team in the first period and easily scored their first goal. Jaroslav Seski put the puck under the bison's netminder. Swindon increased their lead when Jal Nautcher latched onto a clearing pass and beat wall one-on-one. The bison that like a different Alan Wann second session, Tony Redburn closed the scores with a low shot pass and netminder. A classic Marcel Petran shot, rocketed into the goal levelling the scores at two-all. The bison then took the lead, Daniel Voulrab latched onto the puck after a save and scooped it into the net. The bison weren't ahead for long though. When the scores were leveled again by Swindon's man on the match Aaron Nell scoring only 41 seconds into the period. Swindon then took advantage and a lucky pass by the bison. Nell controlled the puck well and calmly volleyed pass wall to give them the 4-3 lead. The third period was extremely close with both teams having lots of chances. The bison cutler's on theirs best with this shot from Nikki Chin deflecting off the netminder and into the net. Chris Wiggins wasn't happy with a knock from behind from Michael Pink and they went blow to blow up against the glass. In the dying minutes of the match the bison managed to scramble the puck pass Windon's netminder to take the match 5-4. Henry Lewin tipped for Winchester News Online.
