and live on Freeview channel 276
Speaking after last Saturday’s overtime victory against the Dundee Stars, Gilbert said: “We played decently. We had a lot of chances to bury that game but we didn’t score so they took us to overtime.
“Dundee stayed in the game throughout the 60 minutes with us, they are hard working team but we didn’t help ourselves tonight.”

Gilbert is confident that the Giants can turn things around.
“It is going to come,” he explained, “The way that we work in the offensive zone is good, we have a lot of talent up front. I am not that worried about that to be honest.
“When we are struggling to score goals in that way need to be better defensively.

“We didn’t do that in tonight’s game and we were punished.
“I think we just need to be a little more careful and control the game better.
“If we are smarter out there then wins will come our way, I am certain of that.
“But I do feel that tonight’s win shows the great character of the team. The guys kept on fighting and we will take those two points.”
