Ari Arvila fell just 3 points short of the League record (for points in one game). His 7 goals were assisted by: Janne (3), Andy (1), Chris (1) and 2 were unassisted. His 10 assists were to Andy (6- 4 goals), Chris (2 -2 goals), Janne (1 -1 goal) and Martin (1). “Andy Nunn replaced Vesa at the halfway mark as Lions went 12-2 up and performed well against the one-man Deeside attack. “This game was deleted from league records when Deeside were expelled from the League. It remains on club records as a challenge game.” |
