HALLAM Wilson and Roberto Tambellini both claimed hat-tricks as the Basingstoke Under-18 Bison recovered from 4-2 down to beat the visiting Swindon Wildcats 7-4.

Swindon opened the scoring after just one minute but two shorthanded goals in the space of one first-period minute put the Bison ahead, Wilson and Tambellini getting their first goals.

However, Swindon then scored twice in the final minute of the period to lead at the first break, before scoring again to make it 4-2 at 26:59.

Powerplay goals from Tambellini and then Wilson got the Herd level before the end of the second period and they wrapped up the win in the final session.

A powerplay goal from Ryan Sutton, who also claimed four assists on the night, put the Bison ahead, before first Tambellini and then Wilson completed their hat-tricks.

In addition to his three goals, Tambellini claimed two assists, while there were also helpers for Jake Edwards, Dan Murrells and Jordan Lawday.
