It’s an away game in Romford on Saturday (5.15pm face-off) with the return at Planet Ice on Sunday (5.30pm).

Phantoms have a fortnight of challenge games before the National League and Cup season starts at Berkshire Bees on September 14. The first competitive home game is against Sheffield Steeldogs the following day.
