GUILDFORD FLAMES must be sick of the sight of Sheffield Steelers this season.
Having already been beaten four times by Aaron Fox’s team out of five Elite League regular season encounters, Paul Dixon’s team had an opportunity to strike back when they came to the Utilita Arena for the Challenge Cup Final on March 13.

Just over 10 days later, they were back in Sheffield.
” With seven previous encounters to look back on, Fox is fully aware of the threats awaiting his players in today’s first semi-final. “We know what to expect, we’ve played a couple of very tight games against them, then the last game when we won the league, we opened it up a little bit after what had initially been another tight game. “They are a really good team, well-coached and a great team in transition.
