Madness Rumble Milton Keynes in 2nd Summer game!

[posted on Sun 20th Jul 2008 by Warren]  » Comments (0)

The Madness took a 8-2 win over MK Rumble on Friday 18th July in Gillingham. After a disappointing start to 2008 with improving results this was the teams first win in 2008 with a hope that there will be a run of good form to see out the season.

The goals came from Loyde Fuller (4+1), Tony Wood (2+2), Janne Metsapelto (1+1) and Marvin MacKenzie (1+0). Loyde is currently trying out for the Invicta Mustangs (ENL South Div 2) so this could have been one of his last performances in a Madness jersey. The team would like to wish him all the best with his trials.

The next game is at home to the Army Air Corps Ice Hawks on Sunday 27th July.

Madness open Summer Home campaign with a draw

[posted on Mon 14th Jul 2008 by Warren]  » Comments (0)

The Medway Madness have played 20 games (and the Sheffield tournament) already this season with 17 of these being on the road but with the end of the Dynamos & Knights season the Madness get a chance to take advantage of the home ice.

The first game of the Summer was against Guildford Smoke who beat the Madness 10-3 back in the Spectrum earlier in the year. With a new motivation following good outings against the Knights and at the tournament the Madness played hard and despite falling behind on occasions managed to battle back to earn a draw 6-6.

The next game at home will be this Friday (18th July) against Milton Keynes Rumble at 11:45pm.

Madness proud of debut in Sheffield

[posted on Tue 8th Jul 2008 by Warren]  » Comments (3)

The Medway Madness took part in the Annual Rec Championships in Ice Sheffield on 5th & 6th July with some great performances being put in by the team. This was the first time the Madness have participated in the tournament and have come away with some excellent memories of a top weekend - both on and off the ice.

With a relatively inexperienced team the Madness were out to show what they can do and how they have improved, and were not disappointed with the results.

On the Saturday the team were drawn against tough opposition, including last years winners the Grimsby Lightning, and despite good results could not take any points from the day. The results were:

Loss 1-0 to Sheffield Blazers
Loss 1-0 to Oxford Bulls
Loss 2-0 to Grimsby Lightning
Loss 3-1 to Solent Scorpions

The Solent Scorpions and Grimsby Lightning both progressed to the top group on the Sunday, Sheffield were to compete in the Plate with Oxford and Medway both being placed in the third group, the Cup.

Sunday was a lot more competitive for the Madness and after making a weary, lacklustre start against the Norwich North Stars pulled out some great results.

Loss 2-0 to Norwich North Stars
Draw 1-1 with Oxford Bulls
Win 2-0 over Peterborough Phoenix
Draw 0-0 with Solihull Wolves

A very good debut in the tournament and something to build on in 2009.

Photographs of the tournament will be posted throughout the coming week. Copies of all photos can be purchased on a DVD.

Sheffield Tournament Groupings

[posted on Sat 31st May 2008 by Warren]  » Comments (0)

At the Sheffield Recreational Championships, to be held July 5th & 6th, the groupings have been announced for the Saturday. The Madness will line up against Sheffield Blazers, Oxford Bulls, Solent Scorpions and Grimsby Lightning.

Fellow Gillingham side, the Invicta Knights, are drawn against Peterborough Phoenix, Bristol Warriors, Solihull Vikings and Cleveland Comets.

Times for Madness games on the Saturday are 11am, 2pm, 4pm and 6pm.

All 15 sides will then be sorted by points and split into three new groups for the Sunday - Championship, Plate and Consolation Cup.

Spaces still exist on the Madness roster for the event so speak to either Warren or Dave for information. Rosters must be confirmed to the EIHA before 20th June.

Good Luck to Barry Stubbs!

Barry Stubbs, a founding member of the Madness, has moved to Warwick recently to take up a new job. The Madness would like to wish Barry, Sandra & Callum all the best in their new home.

Barry, man of the match in yesterday's Solihull game, has been involved with hockey in Gillingham for many years and Dynamos fans will instantly recognise his voice as he was the DJ at the Ice Bowl for a number of years on game day.

Hopefully we haven't seen the last of Barry and he will be rejoining the Madness for a few of our road trips in the remainder of the 2007-2008 season.

RLC Chiefs 7 - 7 Medway Madness

[posted on Mon 5th May 2008 by Warren]  » Comments (2)

The Madness chalked up a great performance in Bracknell with a hard fought 7-7 draw against the Royal Logistics Corps Chiefs. In the same fiture last year the Chiefs had handed the Madness a 7-0 shut out so made the result that more pleasing, especially after a recent run of 9 defeats.

The Madness now look forward to playing the Westminster Statesmen on Saturday 10th May in Alexandra Palace.

For those of you on Facebook the team has a group set up so please feel free to visit the site and join. Below is a link to the site:

A selection of photos have been added to the PHOTOS page from the recent game against the Slough Scorpions. This was the first encounter between the Madness and Scorpions with the result contributing to the inaugural South East Rec Conference. Scorpions managed to edge this round 6-5 but the Madness will be looking to overturn this result at the return leg on Sunday 30th March.

Many thanks to Stu Loveday for providing the pictures.
