Clan put skids under Flyers

Glasgow Clan beat Fife Flyers 5-2 at Braehead in the Challenge Cup with five different players finding the net.

The home side edged the opening session 2-1 and won the middle stanza 2-0 before drawing the third.

Clan outshot Flyers 34-18 in the contest and it took the Braehead combine only 1min 14sec to open their account.

Lucas Chiodo levelled less than two minutes later but the home side moved to a 4-1 lead and saw the game out despite Tyler Heidt netting a second for Flyers.

Fife were awarded a penalty shot late on with the score at 4-2 but Phelix Martineau hit the crossbar and head coach, Tom Coolen, felt that if he had scored then that could have made a difference.
