With many players returning from their Easter holidays there were two matches at the Clickimin on Saturday. The Peewee Hurricanes came out strongly in the first period and Danny Mullay linked up with James Nicolson to give them the early lead. Daniel O'Connor was unlucky not to make it two and Cory Johnson in the Dragons defence made several telling tackles to keep the lead to just one at the break.
The Dragons offence was more organised in the second period and when Joe O'Connor picked up a pass from Kieran Smith there was nobody there to stop his equaliser. At the resulting face off Joe won the ball for Kieran whose long shot beat everyone to put the Dragons in front. At the period end Joe was on target once more when Kieran Smith's centring pass was helped on by Marcus Nicolson.
3 - 1 quickly became 4 - 1 as the Dragons maintained their pressure into the third period. Kieran Smith playing the ball off the left wing into Marcus Nicolson who calmly slotted the ball in by the left post. The score wasn't a fair reflection of the match as Cory Johnson was working hard to keep the Hurricanes out and it was only a matter of time before they scored, two goals at the end of the period, one from Daniel O'Connor and one from Magnus Johnson made the final score Dragons 4 - 3 Hurricanes.
MVP Danny Mullay, Cory Johnson
The Juniors match was an end to end thriller. Magnus Laurenson opened the scoring for the Dragons, converting an up field pass from Christopher Storey. Ben Davis was then penalised for tripping but the Dragons were unable to score from the power play. Shortly after his return Ben made amends by rifling home an equaliser for the Hurricanes only for Magnus to restore the Dragons lead off an Andy Harper cross.
Ruairidh Mackenzie was the prominent figure in the second period. His goal off a Guy Smith cross leveled the score and was followed by a fine solo effort to give the Hurricanes the lead. He was then sin binned for boarding and Magnus Laurenson made the best of it by scoring just as the penalty expired. Ruairidh made amends by scoring another solo goal to give the Hurricanes a 4 - 3 lead at the break.
Parity was restored early in the final period when Magnus Laurenson finished off another Christopher Storey pass and Magnus put the Dragons back in the lead with an assist from Andy Harper. With time running out Ben Davis collected a pass deep in his own half and evaded two tackles, his pass found Ruairidh Mackenzie all alone in front of goal from where he easily score the equalizer. After all the effort a draw would have been a fair result but it wasn't to be, with the last move of the game Magnus Laurenson took the ball from the centre, past the Hurricanes defenders and chipped it into the top right corner for a Dragons 6 - 5 Hurricanes final score.
MVP Andy Harper, Magnus Laurenson
