Telford Tigers book a semi-final spot
Telford Tigers have qualified for the semi-finals of the Autumn Cup after battling to victory in Romford against Raiders.
Tigers, who beat the Bees 4-3 on Saturday, found themselves behind in the third minute when Aaron Connolly netted for Raiders.
The visitors struck back with a long range blast from Nick Oliver but found themselves 3-1 down after Connolly added a second and Erik Piatak a third.
Tigers dominated the second period and struck twice through Scott McKenzie before a stunning solo effort from Joe Aston gave them the lead.
Early in the third period, McKenzie completed his hat-trick to put Tigers 5-3 ahead. Raiders hit back with Connolly scoring his third of the night. But, a short-handed goal from Austin Mitchell-King late in the game sealed the win and confirmed Tigers’ place in the final four of the competition.
