A late arrival and long bus ride was too much for Glasgow Clan to overcome as they were dispatched 8-2 by Guildford Flames on Sunday night at the Spectrum.

Clan arrived in Guildford after being stuck in traffic for several hours, with the game delayed some 20 minutes.

The Flames made their advantage count early and raced into a two goal lead. Ian Watters opened the scoring 6:44 in with a deflections on Mike Crocock's shot, while Levi Cable doubled the lead some five minutes later at the back post on a powerplay.

Another pair of goals in period two put the Flames well in control. Ian McNulty got the Flames' third of the night with a nice deke to loose his defenseman and slot past Shane Starrett at 28:34, before Chris Gerrie bundled the puck home with 46 seconds left in the period.

Brett Ferguson made it five 3:45 into period three on the powerplay , with Cable getting his second of the night at 47:02. Mathieu Roy got Clan on the board 1:27 later, only for Jordan Cownie to put the score at 7-1 under a minute thereafter.

Watters finished the Flames' scoring with 5:13 to play with a nice wrist shot in the slot, while Roy ended the game with Clan's second 27 seconds before the final buzzer.
