WINGS ADD TO DIVISION LEAD WITH WIN OVER FALCONS

Senior C League - Round 15 - Game 2

Redwings 5 - Falcons 1

The Adelaide Redwings jumped out in front to a two goal lead after the first period and from there never looked back on their way to a convincing 5 - 1 Round 15 win over the Adelaide Falcons in Senior C League action recently at Thebarton.

David Bianchi led the Wings scoring with two goals, while Jack Stuivenberg (pictured) , Carl Callichio, and Chris Lee all added single tallies. Goalkeeper Johnny Cousins collected an assist on Stuivenberg’s opening goal, when he figured in on a setup pass with Josh Hodge.

Dan Waterman scored the lone Falcons marker, on an unassisted effort to tie the match at 1 - 1 early into the opening frame.

The victory improved the first place Wings’ record to 10 - 1 - 0 - 1 for 31 points on the C League ladder, while the Falcons drop back to 1-9 in fifth place in the standings.

The Wings outshot the Falcons 38 - 16 with eight shot margins in both the second and third periods. Cousins blocked 15 shots for the Wings, with Lachlan Johnson stopping 33 shots at the Falcons end of the rink.
