Hull Seahawks coach Matty Davies aware of the high stakes in derby date with Leeds Knights
MATTY DAVIES is anticipating another fiercely-fought battle with Leeds Knights on Sunday – but acknowledges there is probably more at stake for his Hull Seahawks team than the visitors.
As Leeds and Sheffield Steeldogs were busy battling in the first leg of their NIHL National Cup semi-final at Elland Road on Friday night, Hull were putting together their final preparations for tonight’s trip to Solway Sharks.
Always a potential banana skin given the unique dimensions of its Dumfries Ice Bowl rink, Davies will be keen to come away from that trip unscathed before the main business of the weekend at home to the two-time NIHL National champions.
Having arrested their six-game losing streak by winning four of their last five games, Hull are back to something resembling something like the early-season form which made them a staple of the top three.
