CHRIS Jones struck with eight minutes to play as Swindon Wildcats completed another perfect weekend in NIHL South One on Sunday night following a 3-2 success at Peterborough Phantoms.
Jones’ late intervention saw the Cats follow up their 3-0 win at home to Bracknell Bees 24 hours earlier, with Aaron Nell’s side making it 10 league victories in succession overall.
Will Weldon gave Peterborough an early lead at Planet Ice, but Edgars Bebris replied to ensure the first period ended all-square.
Jones then got the only goal of the second session to give Swindon a narrow advantage, but parity was restored inside three minutes of the final period when Phantoms struck through Petr Stepanek.
However, it was the Cats who raised their game for a big finish and Jones netted his second goal of the night to extended Swindon’s winning run in the league.
