Bison sting Bees to complete four point weekend

10:00pm Sunday 24th January 2010 in Ice Hockey By Graham Merry

THE BASINGSTOKE Bison completed another four point weekend as they won at the Hive 5-2 against the Bracknell Bees on Sunday night.

The Herd opened the scoring as Ollie Bronnimann scored at 8:25, only for the Bees to equalise on the powerplay a minute later from Michal Pinc.

The visitors re-took the lead in the 16th minute as Joe Ciccarello and once more the home side levelled from Jaroslav Cesky with just one second left on the clock.

After that the Bison dominated the game and man-of-the-match Ondrej Lauko produced a deadly finish from a stray pass, before Tony Redmond on the powerplay made it 4-2 at the second break.

The game as a contest was killed off at 43:12 as Lauko struck again to complete the 5-2 win and means the Bison have now been beaten just once in their last eight games.
