The Basingstoke Bison are on the road this weekend with trips to Swindon and Leeds, writes Graham Merry.

The Herd will face the Swindon Wildcats tomorrow night (Friday, 7.45pm) and then on Sunday (5.15pm) they take on the Leeds Knights.

Bison player/coach Ashley Tait said: “We won in both rinks last time and I hope we can do it again this weekend.”

The goalie has made just one appearance for the Herd since the arrival of Jordan Lawday.
