The Swindon Wildcats delivered a thrilling comeback performance at the Link Centre, overturning a slow start to claim a well-earned 6–3 victory over the Telford Tigers.
The night began well for Swindon as Aaron Nell opened the scoring at 07:08, after a good build-up play from Logan Vande Meerakker and Godfrey. The Tigers responded quickly and effectively. A strike from Brynley Capps at 12:15 levelled the game, and early in the second period the visitors took control. Goals from Eric Henderson (25:32) and Thomas Byrne on the man-advantage (28:15) put Telford 3–1 ahead.
Just 18 seconds after the Tigers’ third, Tomasz Malasinski pulled Swindon back into the contest, finishing a slick move with help from Bradley and Griffiths. At 34:30, Tyler Watkins tied the game after being teed up by Malasinski, before Vande Meerakker capped a dominant stretch with a go-ahead goal at 35:52, assisted again by Bradley. Watkins added his second at 37:21, with Malasinski registering yet another assist, completing a four-goal turnaround in less than nine minutes.
Swindon protected their lead confidently throughout the final period, and at 55:21 when Edgars Bebris pounced, converting from Vande Meerakker and Bradley to make it 6–3.
