 But at Christmas a small group of supporters spearheaded by Richard Street and Dave Clarke took over control of the team and by the first weekend of 1993, Hyrsky and Andison were back with Hyrsky taking on the added responsibility of playing coach.Instead of a revival however, fate struck a devastating blow when Andison was sidelined with a serious leg injury that kept him out for over a month.The Stevenage Sharks were the visitors as Guildford Flames played their first game at the Guildford Spectrum on Saturday 23 January 1993, with the Flames winning 13–3 in front of 2,139 spectators.
