Deeside Dragons Academy u12s and Leeds Junior Knights shared the spoils in an entertaining 2-2 draw away. The second period proved pivotal, with the team outscoring their opponents 2-0 in the middle frame.
Rhodri Jones and Zac Morgan were both on target, finding the net once each to share the goalscoring duties.
Joseph Bradley and Jenson Jones provided the assists, linking up well with the forwards.
A solid point earned that keeps their campaign on track.
Kingston and Deeside are separated by just 2 places in the table, making this a genuine six-pointer for both teams.
Kingston boast the stronger attack this season, averaging 5.4 goals per game compared to Deeside's 4.5. That firepower could prove decisive if they find their rhythm early.
Defensively, Deeside have been more solid, conceding 4.2 goals per game. Kingston will need to tighten up at the back, having let in 4.8 on average.
Form-wise, both teams have been fairly evenly matched with similar win rates this season.
The stats give Kingston a slight edge, but Deeside certainly have the quality to cause problems. This could easily go down to the final minutes.

Deeside Dragons Academy u12s are struggling for form, managing just 4 points from their last 6 games (22% of available points). Their 1-1-4 (W-D-L) record shows difficulties picking up results, with 4 defeats outweighing the 1 wins.
However, there are signs of a dip with fewer points earned recently compared to earlier matches. Halting this decline before it becomes a pattern is important.
Offensively, the team is potent with 23 goals scored (3.8 per game). This healthy output suggests the attacking players are finding their rhythm and creating chances consistently. Worryingly, goals have dried up in recent fixtures compared to earlier in this run.
The defense has leaked 27 goals at an alarming 4.5 per game. This vulnerability is putting enormous pressure on the attack to outscore opponents, which isn't sustainable long-term. Positively, fewer goals have been conceded recently, indicating improved defensive organization. A negative goal difference of -4 highlights the team is being outscored across these fixtures.
Home ice has been a fortress - 1 wins from 3 home games versus just 0 wins from 3 road trips. Making the most of home advantage will be crucial going forward.
Hollie Tillett has been a reliable presence between the pipes, posting a 90.9% save percentage and 1.67 GAA. With 0 wins from 1 games, the goaltending has been a strength.
Most recently, a 2-2 draw with Leeds Junior Knights saw points shared. However, 2 heavy defeats by 3+ goals are concerning and suggest the team can struggle when things go wrong.
Deeside Dragons Academy u12s currently sit in 5th place with 22 points from 17 games played. They are projected to maintain their current position through the remaining 1 games, finishing with approximately 23 points.
The concerning form rating of 32/100 reflects difficult recent results. Contributing factors are strong attacking output (4.6 goals/game) and defensive vulnerabilities (4.2 conceded/game).
Performance has been consistent regardless of venue: 4-5-0 at home and 3-4-1 away. The remaining schedule looks favourable, with opponents averaging below the league mean. Only 0% of remaining games are at home, making the run-in tougher.
The projected finish range of 5th to 6th reflects the uncertainty in any prediction. This narrow range suggests a relatively predictable finish, though close competition means every point will matter.
The outlook is neutral - there's potential for improvement, but also room for caution. Maintaining high-scoring offense while addressing poor current form will be key.
