Tom Watkins’ charges had returned to winning ways with a thrilling 7-5 victory over Solway Sharks in their previous outing. <\/p>\n

Just one place separated Seahawks in fifth and Tigers in sixth, but the former were able to extend the gap.<\/p>\n

Tigers trailed 2-0 inside the opening 10 minutes of the first period when Johnny Corneil added the finishing touches to a power play and Tommy Spraggon doubled their lead. <\/p>\n

But the visitors bounced back immediately. First, Caelan McPhee seized on a pass from Zack Browne to halve the deficit, before James Smith got them back on level terms.<\/p>\n

 It would ultimately prove to be a false dawn as Seahawks asserted their dominance in the next two periods. <\/p>\n

Bobby Chamberlain restored the hosts’ advantage within three minutes of the restart and Richard Hartmann stretched their lead with a fourth. <\/p>\n

Louie Newell offered Tigers a lifeline when he pulled a goal back early in the final period, but Ethan Hehir and a second from Chamberlain eventually killed the Shropshire side off.<\/p>\n

Next, Telford Tigers host Basingstoke Bison on Sunday evening.<\/p>\n
