After a tied opening period, Bristol pushed ahead.  

R  uns of 7-0 and 5-0 helped the Flyers put some daylight between them and the Sharks to lead 38-30 at half time. Bristol extended their advantage to 12 by the end of the third period but Sheffield made a real game of it in the final ten.

The Sharks landed 19 points to Bristol's six to dramatically lead in the dying stages.
