Clarke upbeat on Panthers season

Forward David Clarke insists Nottingham Panthers have had a good season despite the near certainty that they will miss out on winning the Elite League title.

The Panthers are thirteen points behind league leaders Sheffield Steelers, with just eight matches to go.

But Clarke told BBC Radio Nottingham: "You have to take your hat off to Sheffield - they've been so consistent.

"We have given a really good account of ourselves. Unfortunately it looks like we will come up a little short."

And Clarke says the club still have a great deal to play for in the coming weeks.

"We still have the play-offs to come and that is a great way to end the season," he added.
