Nottingham started to find their feet in the contest and Storm were punished on 25:40 as the Panthers defender Brendan Ellis shot from distance to make it 2-1


The Manchester Storm are made of strong stuff and were planning a big 3rd quarter to reduce the deficit, Unfortunately Nottingham struck early, a shot by Lewis Hook found the roof of the Storm net just 11 seconds into the 3rd period.


Manchester had their chances in the final quarter but it was a mix of great defence from the Panthers and wastefullness from the Storm was enough for Nottingham to take the points.

It ended  a 2 win one defeat weekend for Manchester Strorm, they have showed plenty of character in the early rounds of the Elite league and im sure Ryan Finerty and his men will be looking for more successs next weekend despite this defeat. 

They remain top of the Elite League after 3 games.

When the season finished few if any Salford fans would have predicted what would have happened next.

Devil In The Detail SRD · Stadium news, new signing and our Super League preview with Trevor Hunt As far as season openers go they don’t come much tougher than a trip to Headingley. Expectations were high in this part of West Yorkshire. With big money signings and a hefty looking squad Leeds were being tipped by many to finish high up the table.

Chris Hankinson started on the wing with Nene McDonald his centre. Cade Cust started at six. Joe Shorrocks made the bench and it was also great to see Shane Wright back in the side after a horrendous injury layoff last year. The pitc...
