Gameweek 4 of the Planet Ice NIHL National Division sees an early bottom-of-the-table clash, as well as exciting games nearer the top of standings.

Leeds Knights once again enter the weekend atop the division, and they begin their latest round of fixtures away at Berkshire Bees, before returning home to face Solway Sharks.

Hull Seahawks, the only side yet to lose in regulation through the first three gameweeks, travel to MK Lightning – the side they lost to in last season’s National Cup final. The Seahawks end their weekend at home to Romford Raiders, who currently sit fifth in the standings.

A four-point weekend saw Milton Keynes shoot up the table last time around, and they will aim to continue their momentum after their battle with Hull when they travel to fierce local rivals Peterborough Phantoms on Sunday evening.

Towards the bottom of the division, Telford Tigers are still searching for their first points of the season. They open the weekend’s fixtures away at Romford Raiders before closing out Sunday’s action at home to second-bottom Bristol Pitbulls.

The Pitbulls are also in action twice during Gameweek 4, as they host Peterborough on Saturday.

Third-placed Swindon Wildcats only play this week, at home to Sheffield Steeldogs.

The Steeldogs, who have played the fewest games of any teams in the division and picked up five points thus far, will close out their weekend at home to Berkshire on Sunday.
