The Autumn Trophy was competed for by all the British League teams who did not qualify for the Benson & Hedges Cup . Guildford was eliminated at the Quarter-Final stage losing to the Lee Valley Lions. Guildford had enjoyed a comfortable 10-3 win over the Lee Valley Lions in the first leg of their Quarter-Final, and travelled for the second leg on New Year's Day, just 48 hours after losing to the Lions in a league fixture. It seemed as though the Lions had an impossible task ahead of them, but they capitalised on the Flames' netminding problems. Danny Thompson was away on GB under 21 duty, and back-up Mike Shead was injured. Lee Valley won by the  seven-goal margin they needed and the match was tied at 16-16 on aggregate. Nobody seemed to know what to do in the event of an aggregate tie, and there was no overtime and no penalty shots. Eventually, the match was replayed, and Lee Valley came out on top.
