Guildford Lightning Vs Bracknell Queen Bees - 22 October 1995

The first meeting between these two teams for the 1995 / 1996 season 
was as expected, a very hard game for both sides.

The first period began at a fast pace with some end to end plays and 
some hard hits from the onset.  Bracknell suffered penalties at both 
02:37 and 05.42 with Guildford however not able to score on the 
powerplay.  At 06:08 Guildford lost two players in the penalty box 
giving Bracknell a short five on three situation which they failed to 
convert.  It was at 09:05 however that Bracknell scored the first goal 
of the game due to a Guildford defensive error.  Although the 
Lightning seemed to have a slight edge on possession during the first 
period they were out shot 13 - 4 although there were no other goals.

The second period again sustained a fast pace with the possession of 
the puck being shared but again Bracknell out shot Guildford 16 - 6 by 
the 30:00 mark.  By this time Guildford found themselves 3 - 0 down 
following two good goals from Bracknell at 23:27 and 28:32.

The momentum again swung in favour of the Lightning for the third 
period with most of the action coming in the Bracknell zone.  31:06 
saw the first goal from the Lightning when Shelley Owen scored her 
first Guildford goal with a wrist shot from the blue line into the top 
right hand corner of the Bracknell net.  At 40:22 Guildford again 
found themselves on the powerplay when a Bracknell player received a 2 
+ 2 penalty.  This was followed at 43:18 with another Bracknell 
penalty to give Guildford a five on three play.  This did not lead to 
a goal mainly due to the play of the Bracknell netminder.

Both teams having played hard and fast throughout the 45 minutes 
showed the final score to be 3 - 1 in favour of Bracknell.  The score 
was a good reflection of the game with both teams having missed a few 
opportunities.

Player of the match for Guildford went to Gill Barton having faced 36 
shots in total.
