Slough Jets 2-4 Manchester Phoenix
Telford Tigers 5-8 Manchester Phoenix
Manchester Phoenix continued their hot start to the New Year with back to back road wins in Slough and Telford last weekend to take their streak to six games.
Still without player coach Tony Hand and Tom Duggan, Phoenix returned to Slough on Saturday where they were humiliated in a 9-0 thrashing a few weeks ago. But since then Phoenix have not lost and gained some revenge for the hammering with a 4-2 win.
Goals from Ciaran Long, Juraj Faith and Ryan Johnson gave Phoenix a 3-1 lead going into the third period and in spite of the Jets pulling a goal back, Jaroslav Spelda hit an empty net goal in the dying seconds to seal an important victory.
The following night in Telford, Spelda and Faith again led Phoenix to victory with two goals each whilst Martin Cingel also grabbed a pair.
Stephen Wallace and Long also scored for the visitors in the win which sees them rise to joint third with Slough and Sheffield in the English Premier League table.
Phoenix will now look to continue their winning form when they take on Basingstoke Bison away on Saturday before returning to Altrincham on Sunday to face the Milton Keynes Lightning.
