Another weekend of exhilarating action unfolded as the season edges closer to its climax.

At the summit of the league, Aberdeen Lynx continued their commanding run, stretching their lead to 3 points over nearest rivals, Edinburgh Capitals. In a dominant display against North Ayrshire Wild on Saturday, Aberdeen showcased their hunger for silverware, securing a resounding 9-0 victory. Jordan Leyden and Gary Kelly were instrumental, each netting twice in the emphatic win.

Kilmarnock Thunder played host to a challenging doubleheader, first facing off against Kirkcaldy Kestrels and then Dundee Comets. Saturday’s clash with the Kestrels was fiercely contested. After a goalless first period, Thunder’s Innes Gallacher equalised Allan Anderson‘s opener for Kestrels. Despite Kestrels initially leading 4-2 going into the final period, Thunder rallied, bagging four more goals to secure an impressive 8-5 victory.

Dundee Comets also faced a demanding weekend, starting with a clash against Paisley Pirates. The Pirates got off to a strong start, leading 3-0 by the end of the second period. Although Comets managed to pull one back through Billy Baxter‘s power play goal, Thunder ultimately prevailed with a 5-1 win, securing crucial double points.

Sunday’s showdown between Thunder and Comets was a tightly contested affair. With both teams trading blows, the first period ended with an even 3-3 scoreline. Comets edged ahead in the second period, courtesy of goals from Richard Hartmann Jnr and Lewis Neave. However, Thunder responded emphatically, with Innes Gallacher completing his hat-trick. The game was ultimately decided in overtime, with Torran Anderson clinching victory for Thunder with his third goal of the night.

Following the weekend’s results, Thunder climbed to 4th place in the table, while Comets maintained their grip on 3rd position despite securing just 1 point out of a possible 6. With Aberdeen extending their lead, anticipation mounts for next weekend’s fixtures as teams jostle for crucial points in the title race.
