The live FreeSports game was a thoroughly tight affair throughout as Belfast left Kirkcaldy with a narrow in.

The opening period was end to end stuff, but it ended with the Giants ahead – Dustin Johner’s deflected shot from the slot opened the scoring with 14:19 played.

With 11:49 to go, Brett Bulmer was able to deke past some stick checks and then fire into Beskorowany’s net – knocking the water bottle up to tie the game at one each.

A late slashing penalty on Richards Birzins gave the Giants a chance to re-gain the lead that they didn’t waste – 2:51 to go when Darcy Murphy’s wicked wrist-shot gave Owens no chance. The Flyers pulled Owen late on in favour of the extra attacker, but the gamble backfired as Murphy struck again with 52 seconds left to seal the win.

This keeps Belfast at the top of the Eihl.
