This is the first tough test they have come across since their training started a few months ago.
According to coach, Brendan Beak the matches have shown areas which they need to patch up before the competition kicks off.
He appreciated the tough contest Flames gave to his players so they could get the feel of the competitiveness they will be expecting during the real competition.
