Bulldogs Under-14s keep alive Nationals hopes but 16s lose on road
Bulldogs’ Under-14s made it three wins in a row and kept alive their faint hopes of making the end-of-season Nationals at Ice Sheffield with a 9-2 win over Telford.
The hosts were 3-0 to the good after the first period thanks to a double from Danny Harrison and a Daragh Spawforth strike.
Captain Spawforth made it 4-0 on the power play at 20.52 before Telford got on the board through Tyler Stanton 20 seconds later.

Spawforth then completed his hat-trick at 23.19 before Frank O’Sullivan opened his account just over a minute later.
That was how it stayed until early in the third when Telford gave themselves a lifeline through Stanton’s second of the game to make it 6-2.
But the Bulldogs wrestled back momentum through Harrison’s hat-trick effort at 35.34, the centre adding a fourth three minutes later before O’Sullivan wrapped up the scoring with his second at 38.40.
