BLACKBURN ice hockey fans will be donning their woolly jumpers once again this weekend as the Hawks face another tough double header.

Saturday sees Bobby Haig's side travel north to face the Kirkcaldy Kestrels in the opening match of the Border League, before returning to take on the Flintshire Freeze at the Arena on Sunday in the English League Division One (North).

The Hawks play the Freeze for the third time in two weeks after a 10-7 aggregate triumph saw them lift the Anglo-Welsh Cup last weekend.

Player-boss Haig has a full squad to choose from and is boosted by the return of the under-19 players, who were in action against Kingston last Sunday.
