Telford Tigers fought back to a well deserved win after losing heavily to Guildford Flames (9-1) only 24hrs earlier in Guildford.Tigers were in control for most of the game With the Flames coming back strong to tie up the score in the dying minutes of regulation time at 4-4.
The deadlock could not be broken in the 5 minute sudden death overtime period, so it was down to the luck of a penalty shootout.

A good sized home crowd saw the Tigers penalty takers; Scott Mckenzie, Juraj Senko and Marek Hornak all finding the back of the Guildford net, whilst at the other end of the rink Tigers netminder and man of the match Dec Ryan Denied the Guildford shooters from converting on two shots to give the Tigers a very well deserved victory.

Bit of a Cold day on Sunday to be out taking football photos, but Admaston Juniors U9 team were in a semi final cup match against Woodside so needs must.
The game was played at Admastons home ground on Ringers way with the Kick off at 11am by Admastons Captain for the day Josh Brodie. Admaston took the Vicory 3-1,but not before Woodside had a chance to tie the game 2-2 in the last few minutes with a penalty shot, which went just wide of the Admaston net. The game was sealed in the dying minutes with a pass from Joel Corfield finishing in a strike from Elliot Bradshaw into the back of the woodside net.
Both teams gave there all in a very good display of youth football.

Sunday night was the debut of the Telford Tigers winter strip, reminiscent of the 'Winter Classic' Strips worn by the NHL teams who compete in the match of the same name. Blue shirts with snowflakes and letters capped off in 'snow'

The game went to Milton Keynes Lightning 5-1, looked like it would be a shut out until Scott Mckenzie scored for the Tigers

Interesting game last night as Telford took on the current U20 GB team; quite a few familiar faces on the GB squad with current tigers; Callum Bowley,Dec Ryan, Thomas Soar, Luke Brittle  along with ex tigers Dan Scott and Jack Watkins on the ice and Telford Tigers coach Tom Watkins coaching the GB side.

Luke Brittle opened the scoring for team GB against Tigers 2nd Netminder Josh nicholls.

The result was never in doubt, but the way the 'new' boys stepped up to replace the missing tigers was very impressive.

The only goal for Tigers came from another of Tigers youth development players in Adam Taylor, a strong wrist shot beating the GB netminder with under a couple of minutes before Team GB could have secured a shut out. Score ended 5-1 to Team GB.

Thursday night sees GB under 20's Ice Hockey Team roll into Telford to play in a warm up match against Telford Tigers, should be an interesting game to watch and photograph. Going to Busy day photographing, Christmas lights switch on at 6pm in the Town Centrre, followed by the match at 8pm. Come to both and support the team.

Spent a couple of hours friday night over at Frankie & Benny's with Tigers; Tom, Dec, Scott, Adam and Roary, getting some photos. Guys were there to help Frankie & Benny's raise money for Children in Need 2011. They had a shooting net setup outside and later in the evening Scott was MC for the auction of a Pudsy Bear cake, followed by the guys having a pizza eating competition. Adam raced off, but thought it was only half a pizza, eventual winner was Dec, closly follwed by tom, Scott dumped his tomotoes, and poor Adam cam in last, another case of the hare and the tortoise.

After Wednesdys hockey match, i set the camera up with the Nikon SB600 Speedlight, but nothing happened so had to abandon its use and ramp up the iso instead. Looking at it later, the test button does fire the tube, but it seems to be cracked so all you get is a little flicker of light in the corner. Looking on the net a Nikon repair will cost £100 plus. You can fix it yourself but risk the chance of death, not a good move. By good fortune a friends dad will be able to fix the unit, so part has now been ordered from the states for $17.

New website; after years of using Clikpic i have now decided to use Weebly instead, its a lot more intuitive and in whole a more enjoyable experience. Plus having a blog within the site makes it a lot easier to manage.
