    Phoenix rise to summit after back to back home wins

    Manchester Phoenix 4-3 Guildford Flames

    Manchester Phoenix 9-2 Telford Tigers

    Sniper Curtis Huppe ensured Manchester Phoenix returned to the top of the English Premier League this weekend with a game winning goal and a hat-trick in last weekend’s home double header.

    On Saturday, Phoenix completed a nail biting comeback against Guildford Flames to take back first place in the league, before cementing their position against a short-benched Telford Tigers on Sunday.

    Phoenix trailed 2-0 at the midway point of the game on Saturday night before player coach Tony Hand started the fightback in the 34th minute.

    Enforcer Andrew Sharp brought the teams level early in the 3rd period before Martin Masa gave the visitors the lead once more.

    Ladislav Harabin equalized again for the home side before Huppe scored the game winner just over a minute later.

    On Sunday, the Telford Tigers came apart as Phoenix dominated the game early, out shooting the visitors 22-6 in the first period. Goals from Marcus Kristoffersson, Tom Duggan, Ben Morgan, Curtis Huppe and Stephen Wallace giving the home side a 5-1 lead.

    Further strikes from James Archer, Andrew Sharp and a Huppe double finished the home scoring with Scott Mckenzie added a second for the visitors.
