Day two certainly provided its share of nail-biting finishes.
Caledonia Storm defeated Newport 11-10 – thanks to Adam Heywood’s man-up goal just five seconds from the end. Photo (by Trevor Hyde) shows Newport goalkeeper Iwan Edwards watching in despair as Heywood's shot enters the net.
Chester edged out Sheffield Dolphins 11-10 – with a goal from Paul Williams 11 seconds from time.
Finally, Invicta Marlins recovered from 12-9 down in the final period against Chelmsford to draw 12-12 courtesy of goals by Dan Brown, Jamie Bailey and – with 1.26 remaining – Greg Jackson.
