Latest News

Away at Billingham

15th January, 2012

Thunder showed good organisation and plenty of spirit throughout the game, but ended up being outshot 99-18 by a Billingham team boasting three GB U18 players. Billingham were able to score from a number of loose puck situations, so just some small improvements in this area of play will see scorelines improve. Thunder also had some decent scoring chances but were unable to turn these into goals on this occasion. MVP went to Jade Conway.

Away at Whitley Bay

10th December, 2011

Again Thunder were at a disadvantage before the off with a short bench. The ladies played their hearts out and did their very best from the start and right up to the end of the game. The ladies had a great time which made for a great atmosphere throughout the game. The scoreline ended up 19 - 2 with Billie scoring both Thunder goals. The whole team got the mvp. A big thanks to all of the players that made this game and made it a good day.

Away to Sheffield

4th December, 2011

Another game without our regular Goalie Bea, who was away for this one but Emma played very well in her place letting in 17 out of 55 shots on and considering she has only had a goalie kit on about 5 times and was quite ill on the day being unable to stand up a lot of the time played very well . the 1st period finished 8 - 0 . Amanda scored for Thunder in the 2nd period finishing the period 8 - 1. Our best period was the 3rd when it took Sheffield 15 minutes to score when Thunder were on the penalty kill. They didnt manage to score again with the period finishing 1 - 0. We had a few chances with 19 shots on goal. The game finished at 17 - 1 with Jade from the grind line recieving a well earned MVP.

Home to Nottingham

20th November, 2011

Thunder started positively and created some decent chances before a freak own-goal saw Vipers take the lead. The match continued to ebb and flow but an increasing amount of tetchiness crept in culminating in Amanda's game coming to a premature conclusion after a nasty slash to the ankle. Thunder continued to give plenty of ice time to the new players who all put in strong performances and kept playing right to the final buzzer. It is a tribute to the effort shown by the whole team that no goals were conceded in the final period. The final shot count was 77 shots on Bea and 14 on Nottingham. Thunder MVP went to Sarah Lowe who had a great game on her return to the team. Despite the score this was another good effort by Thunder and the new players are gaining valuable experience that will bring its rewards in the games to come

Away at Hull

14th November, 2011

Another courageous effort from Thunder with Emma Lowe standing in between the pipes. What was always going to be an uphill task was made even steeper with Diamonds icing several Premier League players. Thunder's new players continued to gain valuable match experience and showed a lot of promise. Thunder's goal was scored by Cat Fell and MVP went to Emma who had 42 shots on. Final score 20 - 1 to the Diamonds
