Paisley Pirates almost came away with an unlikely win after a treacherous trip to Belfast.
The Paisley club only arrived 25 minutes before face-off after their ferry was delayed, with the horrendous weather conditions turning a few of the players stomachs on the rocky journey.
Despite their late arrival the Pirates raced into a 1-0 lead in the first session, before the Giants hit back to draw the sides level at 2-2 heading into the third session.
