Edgware Town v Sun Sports 11th March SSML Premier
Sun Sports and Edgware took a share of the goals and the points in a six goal thriller at Silver Jubilee Park.
Playing on a 4G pitch in a competitive match for the first time, as well as fielding three under 18 players in the squad, the Sun looked towards the youth of the side to help build up their experience.
Goalkeeper Drew Oliver has played a handful of games already for the first team, but there were debuts for Olamide Emiloju and Callum Duce who also showed that they will be knocking on the first team door before too long.
The first half started at a blistering pace with each side trying to find an opening.
Drew Oliver made a couple of important saves to keep scores level.
And it was the Sun who broke the deadlock thanks to a super 30 yard sweet strike from George Hobson which nearly broke the net!
But Town were back on level terms minutes later with a long range shot from Mooney that was just out of the grasp of a despairing dive from Drew.
Kerran Lataille worked well up front for the Sun making dangerous runs at the defence with his fancy footwork and jinking moves to try and bamboozle the Town defenders.
The Sun re-took the lead in the second half after only two minutes from the re-start.
And it was that man Mr Hobson again with a fantastic free kick that fired the Sun back in front.
Edgware huffed and puffed and tried to get back level with some fast moves and it was thanks to one of these that found Maharjan with the space to hit the ball with some force that Drew Oliver managed to get a hand to the ball but wasn't able to keep it out.
Deji Ikusemori has come into fine form at the moment, making some important driving runs into the opposition half and delivering some perfect passes to provide further attacks.
Both sides attempted to get a winner in the remaining minutes and when Edgware were awarded a free kick on the edge of the box it was down to Ali who hit a perfect curling free kick into the top right corner of the Sun goal to give Town the lead for the first time in the match.
With the minutes ticking away it looked like the Sun would be coming away from Kingsbury with no points, until a free kick delivered by...who else but George Hobson was headed on by debutant Callum Duce and fired in at close range by Scott Bonner to give the Sun a share of the spoils.
