Phoenix coach ready for response

Manchester Phoenix coach Tony Hand has said Andre Payette will now go from strength to strength after scoring his first goals of the season.

The Ontario-born forward broke his duck with a brace in the 8-4 demolition of Basingstoke on Saturday.

Hand told the club website: "Andre is a big character for us and we've all been hoping he could break his duck and add to the goal scoring effort.

"I'm sure those two goals will become a launch pad for him."
