Streatham struggled to a 4-2 win over NIHL 1 title rivals Slough Jets on Sunday as they got their Britton Cup campaign off to successful start, writes Christopher Beal.

The RedHawks are carrying a lot of injuries but were buoyed by the announcement of the return of Jared Lane to the squad after a brief break from the sport.

Slough were forced to change netminders as Brett Massey made way for Ruari McGibbon in the fifth minute.

Streatham pay respects to Adam Johnson before recording back-to-back NIHL 1 victories - South London News

Streatham won twice last weekend in the NIHL 1 and paid their respects to Adam Johnson before Saturday’s 8-3 home win over Invicta Dynamos, writes Christopher Beal.

Nottingham Panthers’ Johnson died at the end of last month after sustaining a cut to his neck from a skate worn by an opposition player.

Both teams laid a wreath at the High Road and all the players wore neckguards, a further legacy of Johnson’s passing.

Streatham opened the scoring in the eighth minute. JJ Pitchley and Josh Ealey-Newman linked up with Tomasz Skokan applying the finish.
