Hornets win the top of the table clash in a second half of scoring brilliance.

Top of the Premier played top of the First Division with the Hornets losing after a disaster period at the start of Q3

Hornets post their top score of the season so far!

The road to get to Buxton goes up and down many times and as you head to another peak you think there can’t be any more slopes, but there’s always more than you expect … and this is how the game was too. Hornets built a lead 5 times in this match only to see the Storm take it back again and only a determined effort in Q4 finally saw the game swing to the league leaders.

Warrington came with a team weakened by injuries and the normal close derby match was not to be as the Hornets were able to feed fit and fresh players into the game all night.

Neither side gave an inch in a physical cup contest but excellent long range shooting saw the Hornets squeeze into the next round.

Hornets generally draw defences out with an array of outside shooting options but tonight they couldn’t find their shooting range and the Spindles big men dominated in offence and defence.

Hornets hold their nerver to sting the Pride

Hornets see a big lead wasted to lose their first match of the season.
