Another weekend, another injury

Already without Paul Moran, Stuart Kerr, Troy Neumeier and Matt Reynolds, the Excel Hull Stingrays suffered another blow this weekend after the news that Jamie Thompson will be forced to sit out at least three weeks with a neck injury.

Thompson, who joined the Stingrays in late October and has so far recorded eight goals and two assists in 26 games, initially injured his neck in the 4-0 loss against Sheffield three weeks ago but persevered to play in Newcastle on Saturday night.

However, after failing to complete the 3-2 loss in Newcastle, Thompson now faces at least three weeks on the sidelines with the injury which requires an MRI scan.
