Cardiff Junior Devils 6 - 1 Slough

Cardiff Devils under 14’s entertained Slough in their second game back in the “A” league hoping to carry on from their encouraging start against Peterborough in their first game.

The Devils got off to a great start finding the back of the net after only 15 seconds with a great goal from Captain Kieran Latchford assisted by Ellis Price. With the Devils playing some great hockey it was no surprise when they got their second of the game with an unassisted goal from Ellis Price at 7:51. Just 21seconds later Ellis got his second of the game and the Devils third with an assist by Giacomo Raffaelli which forced Slough to call a time out.

The time out worked for Slough who gradually found their way back into the game and were rewarded at 11:04 with a goal to bring the score back to 3-1. This ended the scoring for the first period which saw the Devils outshoot their opponents 16-3.

The second period was a more even affair but it was the Devils who were creating all the good scoring chances. They added to their tally at 26:33 as a result of great play Zac Shanahan, who scored his first goal for the Devils, assisted by Callum Buglass. Seconds later Captain Kieran Latchford, assisted by Joe Morris, got his second goal of the afternoon to give the Devils a 5-1 lead at the end of the period.

The Devils were again dominant in the third period scoring goal number six at 31:59 with a great finish by Joseff Lawrence assisted by Tom Parkinson. The Devils played out the rest of the game in total control enabling them to ice new players Aaron Archer and Jack Rees and giving net-minder Ben Robinson the last 10 minutes in goal.

Overall this was a great display by the under14’s who fired an impressive 47 shots on goal and the defence only allowing 9 shots all game on net-minder James Whiting.
