MK Storm vs Peterborough
MK Storm looking to continue with their strong performance this season faced another round of games in their hometown of Milton Keynes. Peterborough started with a strong attack against MK Storm scoring the first goal in this game. MK Storm was fast to respond to this with Jordan scoring with further goals in quick succession from Iacono and Pond. Peterborough fought back very hard with some clever defensive play and aggressive back checking to stop MK Storm. It wasn’t enough to keep MK Storm at bay as Jordan dragged in defencemen to open up C Calvert twice in the last few minutes of the game allowing him to slot home beautifully. Well done to all players and C Calvert’s finishing.

MK Storm vs Coventry
A strong Coventry side with loaned Ayres closing down the MK Storm front line. It took line 3 to break the deadlock with Nüth slotting in the first 2 goals with his breaking away and slotting into the far corner. Great defensive play from M Calvert allowing Poulton, in his debut match, to bring the puck through the zones. Pond held off a strong second line from Coventry with strong forechecking and clever play to set up Pritchard for the 3rd goal. C Calvert on the first line scored a fantastic lone effort bringing it out from defence and smashing it home. Nüth sealed the victory with close play and control in the offence to slot home his 3rd goal for MK Storm.

Result 3rd Match - MK Storm Lost
MK Storm vs Solihull
This was a close, hard-fought game. Initially both teams struggled to keep possession. Jordan slotted home a fantastic skilled run after a few line changeovers, but MK Storm struggled to find their early rhythm. Pond stopped a number of shots on goal and set up a number of opportunities, but MK Storm found it difficult to capitalize on this. Solihull came back with a late chance and pipped MK Storm to the win. Fantastic hard-fought game all round.
