THE Invicta Dynamos ice hockey squad will parade the English National Hockey League trophy they won last month at the Gillingham Ice Bowl on Sunday.

The team will be presented with the silverware after their English National Premier League Cup clash with old adversaries Romford Raiders.

For former player and fans’ favourite Elliott Andrews, it will bring back some happy memories of when the Mos won the ENPL two seasons ago.

Player-coach Phil Chard said: “Ells will be joining us for training because a fire last week caused £250,000 damage to Romford’s rink, covering their ice in soot. We’ll also be helping out some of their juniors because at a time like this you have to pull together.”

Last Sunday, Oxford City Stars exacted revenge on the Invicta Dynamos by beating them 8-6 to win the ENHL Cup.

The Stars, runners-up to the Mos in the league, twice beat the Medway outfit in the cup competition to top the table by four points.

Invicta had beaten Milton Keynes Thunder away on Saturday 4-1, thanks to goals from Dan Fudger, Jamie Smith, Chard and Grant Baxter to set up a winner-takes-all clash with Oxford in the final game.

In the first cup encounter between the sides, Oxford won 5-4.

So the return game was always going to be close and it started well for Invicta when Paul Hume opened the scoring at 7.35.

The home side equalised before Andy Martin (14.53) gave the Mos a 2-1 first period lead.

But a second period hat-trick from Darren Elliott - his second goal shorthanded - turned the game, although strikes from AJ Smith (29.12) and player-of-the-match Hume (30.50) kept the Mos in the game at 5-4 down.

Oxford stepped up a gear in the third and went 8-4 up before Chard (50.41) and Peter Beerling (59.21) struck in Invicta’s attempted comeback.

Chard said: “It may sound like sour grapes, but I just wish for once in an important game like this we’d get a strong referee. The guy could not control anything and the turning point came when we had a goal disallowed.

“It was the second time at Oxford there’s been a dispute, especially as the goal judge is a relative of one of their players. It should not happen.”
