Basingstoke set about trying to break down Andrej Vasiljevic in the Slough net but he stood tall denying every attempt until 11.26 when a man advantage goal scored by Andy Melachrino gave the home team the lead. Dean Skinns faced just four shots but of the 21 Vasiljevic faced there was just the one goal.

Just 92 seconds into the second period Alan Lack made it 1-1, finishing from Jamie Line and Kamil Tvrdek. With the teams locked in a tied game it took a penalty shot awarded at 31.51 to split them when Ciaran Long calmly netted against his former team for 2-1. After 40 minutes despite a 35 shot difference only the penalty shot separated the teams.

At 41.16 Joe Rand added to the score for 3-1 and Nick Chinn made it 4-1 at 46.16. Lack’s second at 48.53 kept the game alive and with just over a minute left Craig Moran called the time-out. Vasiljevic stayed on the bench as the visitors fielded six outskaters but Basingstoke broke free and Tomas Karpov found the empty net with his shot for 5-2. The home team then got a further boost when Stuart Mogg scored on the buzzer for their sixth goal scored at 59.59

A defensive start to the game saw both teams feeling each other out following the cup semi-final game but with 3.23 left in the opening period James Hutchinson netted a powerplay goal to break the deadlock. Mindy Kieras scored under a minute later at 17.16 and the first period ended 0-2.

Back on the powerplay Darius Pliskauskas scored at 29.09 to make it 0-3 but with the man advantage in their favour Greg Owen scored for the home team and when the middle period ended it was 1-3.

Basingstoke came back into the game hard in the third period with Joe Rand scoring a delayed penalty goal at 45.14 but Frantisek Bakrlik scored at 46.44 to restore a 2 goal gap Greg Chambers scored then on the powerplay at 47.39 and the same player netted at 49.07 to level the game.

Sudden death overtime didn’t separate the teams so it came down to penalty shots. Dan Davies shot first for the visitors and scored and Joe Miller did the same for the home team. Pliskauskas missed and Sheppard scored in the second round of shots and Bakrlik scoring his third did affect the result when Rand scored for the extra winning point.

After some initial offensive pressure from the visitors Slough’s Captain Blaz Emersic gave them the lead at 5.01. At 12.19 the lead was doubled when Emersic scored his second and Slough closed out a shut-out period.
