BIG CATS BACK IN ACTION

The GB Super League started its 2010 programme today, although World Cup qualifying commitments for Wales and Scotland mean that this year's version is a men-only event.

The Caledonian Cougars drew first blood in their match against Pennine Pumas, with a 28th minute goal from Kelburne's Gareth Hall. This setback seemed to spark the Pumas into action, with two goals before the break from Stuart Pilgrim and Chris Griffiths. An early second half goal from Pumas' David Becket opened the margin and a 70th minute penalty corner from Simon Faulkner sealed the Cougars fate. Final score, 4-1 to the Pumas.

Today's other match saw three second half goals in Saxon Tigers game against Celtic Panthers, the three coming from Will Naylor (2) and Harry Martin on behalf of the Tigers. Final score there; 3-0 to the Tigers.
