SLOUGH Jets started the weekend in style with a crushing 6-2 victory over Guildford Flames at the Hangar on Saturday.

The teams exchanged early goals with the score level at 1-1 within the first minutes. Rick Plant scored for Guildford at 3.00 but Dan Davies equalised at 4.46 and Slough never looked back.

Another quick goal exchange followed when Peter Poljacek netted for Slough at 16.17 on the powerplay only to see Plant score his second 20 seconds later.

Peter Jasik put Slough ahead with his strike at 18.09 and the home team went to the interval 3-2 ahead.

The second period saw the Jets outshoot but not outplayed as they forge a game winning lead. After killing a penalty Slough's next penalty saw them extend their lead with Ciaran Long scored a short-handed goal from his knees at 28.15. Long netted again at 35.29 to give Slough a two goal lead.

Guildford again enjoyed the shot advantage in the third period but Gregg Rockman was not to be beaten as he kept out all 10 shots. A brief Guildford powerplay was nullified when they picked up a penalty leaving it four on four but neither team could take advantage of the open ice and Slough failed to capitalise on their brief powerplay. The Flames pressed hard for the final five minutes of the game but Blaz Emersic netted at 58.54 to finish the game 6-2.

They backed that up with a tremendous win over Manchester Phoenix on Sunday, see the Observer for more Jets news and reaction.
