1947/48

At the start of the Autumn Cup programme Sandy Archer resigned as coach the night Panthers opened at Harringay and right wing Ed young broke his wrist in the first few minutes of the first period .A close series saw all the teams bar Harringay Greyhounds "Hounds" in contention. Harringay Racers finally running out winners after beating Panthers and Brighton Tigers in the last two games. In the National Tournament competition Chick Zamick equalled Sandy Archer’s seven year old record by scoring 4+4 to total 8 points against Wembley Lions at Wembley, 22/11/47. Panthers and Greyhounds only completed eleven games. This was due to Panthers being stranded in Paris by a rail strike. Since the match would have no bearing on the final standings the BIHA decided to waive the game. At the end of the season Chick Zamick was the top points scorer with 124 points with Bobby Lee of Brighton Tigers 2nd on 122 and Ross Planch of Harringay Greyhounds 3rd way back on 99.
