EPL round-up: Tigers move three points clear

Telford Tigers enjoyed an excellent weekend in the EPL, securing two victories to open up a three point lead at the top of the table.

Matty Davies hit the decider in Tigers’ 5-4 shoot-out success at Sheffield Steeldogs and he was on target again during his team’s 3-2 victory at home to MK Lightning.

Milan Baranyk and Lewis Hook both scored twice in Lightning’s 8-2 home win against Bracknell Bees.

Aaron Nell (4) topped the scoring for Swindon in their 6-4 home success over Hull Pirates, but the Wildcats failed to follow up at Peterborough as the Phantoms sealed a 3-1 victory.

Basingstoke Bison secured their third four-point weekend in row, winning 3-1 on home ice against the Phantoms and 7-2 at Manchester Phoenix.

Guildford Flames lost 4-3 after a shoot-out at home to the Phoenix and they completed a miserable weekend with a 6-4 defeat at Hull – Andrej Themar scored four for the home team.

Donatas Kumeliauskas bagged a brace for the Steeldogs in their 4-3 road win at Bracknell.
