Tom Watkins told of his pride in the Telford Tigers squad, after watching them fall to a 4-2 defeat against Peterborough Phantoms in the EPL Cup semi-final first leg.
Wednesday night’s result means Telford must win Sunday’s return leg in Shropshire, to stand any chance of progressing to the final.
The winners of that game will play Milton Keynes Lightning for the trophy over two legs next month.
