Tigers played some good one touch hockey and with 1.08 on the clock a shot at the Widnes goalie Phil Crosby hit his helmet and stopped play for the period. The remaining time was played after the period break. Period ended 2-1 in favour of Widnes.
Following on from the 2nd period stoppage and with the remaining time being played after the break and going straight into the 3rd period Tigers pushed hard to equalise.
Unfortunately a rebound shot from Widnes found its way into the back of the net at 43.09 to make it 3-1 to the Widnes Wild. This gave The Wild the edge and they capitalised on this as Telford pushed to get back into the game and scored a further 3 goals in 4 mins, 2 of them being rebound goals, making it 6-1.
Tigers #39 Charlie Hammerton scored again at 59.18 to make the end score 6-2 to The Wild on the final buzzer.
