Basingstoke Bison go top of English Premier League
9:13pm Sunday 30th September 2012 in Sport By Graham Merry
THE BASINGSTOKE Bison may have lost after a penalty shoot-out in Milton Keynes on Sunday night, but their was a silver lining as they went top of the English Premier League.
The Herd took the lead against the Lightning thanks to Joe Greener only for Lukas Zatopek to equalise early in the second period.
With no further scoring the game went to overtime which failed to split the teams so the match was decided by the shoot-out with MK's Adam Brittle the only one of six shooters to find the net.
The Bison are next in action on Wednesday night at home to Swindon looking to extend their lead at the top of the table.
See Thursday's Gazette for a full report and a preview of this weekend's trip to Peterborough.
