The script for Telford Tigers’ comeback win over Hull Seahawks was ‘impossible to write’, according to head coach Tom Watkins.
Despite finding themselves three goals behind heading into the third quarter, Tigers netted three late goals to level the scores before going on to secure a 6-5 win in overtime.
Watkin added: “The whole team dug very deep to turn it around, we identified a plan going into the third period and the guys executed it brilliantly. Telford began the game under immediate pressure, with Hull hitting the post on their first attack of the game. Hull made it three early in the second quarter through Sam Towner, before Vladimir Luka’s strike got Telford on the board after several missed chances.
