Challenge Cup ice hockey match between the Belfast Giants and Glasgow Clan at The O2 Belfast.
The Belfast Giants return to home ice at The O2 Belfast on Sunday 25 October, where they take on Scottish rivals Glasgow Clan in the Challenge Cup. Both teams are looking to make their mark in the competition, and with the rivalry between the two, it's a game that carries a bit more weight than your average fixture.
The Giants have been in a decent run of form lately. In the Challenge Cup, they put four past Dundee to win 4-1, and they've kept that momentum going in the Elite League with a 1-0 win over Coventry Blaze. It's a couple of results that show they can deliver both ends of the pitch — the goals to put it to bed and the defence to hold a narrow lead — so they'll be heading into this one with a bit of wind in their sails.
If you're planning to head down, there are two practical things to keep in mind about The O2 Belfast. First, it's a cashless venue, so leave the coins at home and make sure you've got a card on you for drinks and food. Second, the parking is ticketless and runs on Automatic Number Plate Recognition, which means your number plate is your ticket in and out — no physical tickets to lose or fumble with. The arena is in the Titanic Quarter, so it's an easy enough run in from the city centre.

It's a Challenge Cup clash, so the stakes are a bit different from the league, and with Glasgow Clan coming across the water, it's one of those games that usually brings a bit more noise to the stands. The Giants are back on their own ice, and with the form they've shown against Dundee and Coventry, they'll be keen to keep the winning streak going in front of the home crowd. The game is on Sunday 25 October at The O2 Belfast.
