Reigning EPL champions Milton Keynes Lightning showed they have no intention of giving up their crown without a fight, sending title pretenders Manchester Phoenix home empty-handed after an electrifying match saw the home side emerge worthy 6-3 winners in front of a packed crowd (Saturday 22 Jan).

The MK Lightning squad will be eating out in a private dining area of Red Hot World Buffet in Central Milton Keynes on Monday 31 January and a limited number of places are available for supporters to join the them for the evening.
