Deeside Dragons' Explosive Opening Weekend In The NIHL Division One

Wednesday, 13 September 2023 13:36

Aspray Chester Deeside Dragons are gearing up for an exhilarating double-header weekend, featuring a face-off against the Billingham Stars.

Starting with a highly-anticipated away game on Saturday, 16th, the Dragons then welcome the Stars to their home ice at the Den on Sunday, 17th. This is not just a game, it’s an experience—a showdown that promises to be laden with drama, action, and unforgettable moments.

The Billingham Stars: A Formidable Foe

While the Deeside Dragons are set to open their season, the Billingham Stars kicked off their campaign last weekend with a mixed bag of results. They were subdued by the Hull Jets in a 4-2 away defeat but bounced back with a jaw-dropping 7-0 victory over the Sheffield Scimitars. The Stars are undoubtedly a team of contrasts, and this gives the Dragons a perfect canvas to paint their victory.

Good News: Don’t miss out on the away game action. Secure your spot on the return coach for just £13 per person! Book Your Seat NOW.
