BOBBY CHAMBERLAIN said the self-belief within the Hull Seahawks team has enabled them to keep alive their dream of making the NIHL National Final Four Play-offs Weekend.

The Seahawks kept themselves in the frame to make the showpiece conclusion to the 2025-26 season in Coventry on April 18-19 after coming from behind to beat Yorkshire rivals 4-3 in overtime on Sunday.

It was enough to give them their second win of the play-off group stage and keep them level on points with Telford Tigers and Milton Keynes Lightning.

Leeds top the group on six points and need a win from their final two games against Milton Keynes this weekend to book their place in Coventry.

Hull meanwhile, face Telford twice, firstly on home ice this Saturday, knowing two regulation wins will guarantee them one of the four available semi-final spots at the SkyDome Arena.

That will be a far from easy mission, though, with Telford having given themselves a chance of making the last four with their 4-2 win at home to Milton Keynes on Sunday.

“We do believe in the room that we have got a really good team and we are durable,” said Seahawks’ captain Chamberlain.

“We’ve been through a lot this year and we’ve really bonded and this is our team now - there is no quit in there and it was nice to get the result and go into next weekend with all to play for.”

Chamberlain said he was delighted to see team-mate and fellow forward Emil Svec strike the winning goal against Leeds in Sunday night’s come-from-behind win, particularly with Hull’s forward group finding points hard to come by in the post-season.

Going into the home game against Leeds, Hull had only mustered four goals in the three previous games.

“The pressure is on and you want to be the players to score - which is okay when you’re winning and you’re not scoring, but when you’re not winning and you’re not scoring, you’ve got to look at yourself,” added Chamberlain.

“And it was great to see Emi score and it was a great pass from Johnny (Corneil) too.”
