The Manchester Metros committee has announced details of the third installment of their annual club showcase -- this time with a spin.
Manchester will take on BUIHA newboys LJMU Leopards (Liverpool Johns Moores University) on Thursday, December 4 at Silver Blades Ice Rink Widnes with face-off to be determined -- although doors will open at 6.15pm with food and beverage services starting at 6.30pm. The new North West Varsity will feature several players from Britain's NIHL teams in the area, including Widnes Wild and Manchester Minotaurs.
Tickets are to be available for purchase through Skiddle.com with a standard entry ticket costing £5. For an addition £2.50, the ticket will include, with return, coach travel from a to-be-announced Manchester location. To specifically support either university team there is an option on the ticket menu that will allow you to directly purchase your ticket from either club. Silver Blades Widnes is located at The Hive Leisure Park in Widnes, just off Ashley Way.
Mark your ever-distant holiday calendars as the contest promises to be exciting and fast paced. Full details, such as rosters, face-off time, ect. will be confirmed and continually updated through the Facebook event.
For now, you can refresh your memory with FuseTV's highlights and recap of twenty-thirteen's varsity that saw University of Manchester walk away with the trophy again, winning 5-3 on the back of two goals scored by UoM captain, Max Drakeley.
