IT was a quiet week for Newcastle Jesters as we had three days off. I think it was a good thing to have some time away from the rink.

When things are not going well it is good to take the time to get ourselves back in good shape both physically and mentally.

Now I am looking forward to playing in a brand new arena in Belfast.

It is going to be a big test for us. These next two matches are crucial for our side to finish strongly in the final stretch.
