Tom Watkins has called for another bumper crowd against Guildford Flames at Telford Ice Rink on Sunday as he looks to spark a late revival that could lead to an unlikely place in the EPL play-offs.

The Tigers player-coach will be hoping his side can capitalise on the momentum of last weekend's victory over Sheffield Steeldogs in a double-header of games against Guildford this weekend.

That win was watched by one of the biggest gates of the season as the Tigers collected their eighth victory and moved to within 12 points of the final play-off spot.

Telford are still to play those teams around them in the table on five separate occasions, and Watkins believes his side are already benefitting from the win over Sheffield.

He said: "It is always a confidence boost after a win like that and you can tell it has been a big lift for the guys.

"It is only one game, although with the enjoyment of winning at home, I could see it in practice this week."

"We looked like a whole new team out there" - that is the assessment from Telford Tigers assistant coach Greg Blais after his side snatched a 3-1 win over EPL title-chasers Sheffield Steeldogs.

Sunday's victory, which was marked by four separate fights between players, was a timely boost for fans after Telford lost 9-5 at play-off rivals Peterborough Phantoms on Saturday.

The Tigers do, nevertheless, remain 12 points adrift of the final post-season berth, but Blais is hoping his men can use Sunday's win as the catalyst for a late play-off charge.

He said: "We came out really strong and Daniel Croft in particular was amazing, going after Andre Payette and showing that he is not shy to drop the gloves. Joe Henry also stood up really well.

"We looked like a whole new team out there and it is looking very good for us. Next weekend against Guildford is looking very positive and hopefully we will be looking at a four-point weekend. I was very proud of the boys tonight."
