Andy Smith earns last-gasp South East Trophy point for Invicta Dynamos against Wightlink Raiders
09:51, 02 October 2012
Andy Smith scored with just two seconds left to earn Invicta Dynamos a 4-4 draw against the Wightlink Raiders on Sunday - and their first point in three games in the South East Trophy.
Beaten 6-3 by the Cardiff Devils the week before in the league, another Dynamos' home defeat looked on the cards as they trailed 4-2 with only three minutes left.
But Peter Vaisanen gave Invicta hope with his second goal of the game and then, with time almost up, Jack Tarczycki tried his luck from distance and Callum Best followed up from close range before Smith applied the finishing touch.
It was a morale-boosting result for Dynamos after they had conceded two goals in the opening four minutes before drawing level by the end of the first period through Vaisanen and Best.
The Raiders, however, regained their two-goal advantage in the second period and it looked bleak for Kevin Parrish's under-pressure squad until they produced their late revival.
