HULL SEAHAWKS’ head coach Matty Davies couldn’t hide his frustration over his team’s heavy defeat in the NIHL National Cup Final to Milton Keynes Lightning - but insisted there was little time to feel sorry for themselves.
The Seahawks were well-beaten 5-1 in Buckinghamshire on Tuesday night, giving their rivals an aggregate 10-5 triumph having already edged the first leg in Hull. Davies was left puzzled by his team’s below-par performance on such a big occasion – they remain the only team to win in Milton Keynes this season – but is refusing to dwell on it for too long with the NIHL National play-offs just around the corner.
” First-period strikes from Ross Venus and Toms Rutkis put the Lightning in control going into the first intermission in front of a sellout crowd, the vast majority of who were sent even more delirious when Dillon Lawrence made it 3-0 in the 24th minute. The night got worse for the visitors when Rutkis doubled his tally just after the halfway mark, the Latvian-born forward completing his hat-trick just over five minutes into the third period.
