Phoenix on the rise

Manchester Phoenix will look to build on their perfect start to the English Premier League campaign when they take on Sheffield away (tomorrow 7.30pm) and Milton Keynes (home, Sunday 5.30).

Defenceman Luke Boothroyd (22) has been named as Phoenix captain but they have lost Carl Graham (25), who asked to be released from his contract as he wants to relocate to Bracknell due to work commitments.
