Panthers defeated at home to Sheffield

The GMB Panthers are plotting quick fire revenge when they visit Sheffield in the cup on Friday after Wednesday night finished 1-3 in the Steelers favour.
A big crowd of over 5,100 saw two evenly matched teams in a game that was close from start to finish without epitomising the high octane passions of the previous league encounter between the two sides.
The record books will show a 1-3 defeat. The record books won't show all the facts behind the scoreline.
With Craig Kowalski in fine form, as was Mustokovs at the other end, the match was finely balanced when K-wall's skates needed running repairs. He left the ice and Dan Green took over in nets briefly. While he was in goal Nottingham were on a delayed call, Sheffield got six skaters on and scored close-range when Panthers failed to clear the puck. Jade Galbraith finished sweetly to equalise on a powerplay.
In the second period Nottingham's defencemen were changing on the fly. With no-one wanting to touch the puck in fear of a too many men call it was allowed through for Sheffield to steal in and score on the one-on-one.
And in the third a powerplay goal from long-range found the bottom corner after Kowalski had lost his stick. Other than those incidents there was little to choose between the sides and Steelers coach Ben Simon said afterwards : "It was another tight match, two good, well balanced teams who match up very evenly."
