Hemel Hempstead Rovers 3 Sun Sports 3                1964/65                                   HCL Prem 

Rovers are save by own goal

An own goal in the last minute robbed Sun Sports of a Herts County League Premier Division victory at Hemel Hempstead on Saturday.
With just 60 seconds to go, Sun were leading 3-2 and looking set for victory.
Then a home forward sent in a shot which was deflected past Sun goalkeeper Bill Burke by a defender.
Sun, who played the better football but tended to over-do matters when they reached scoring range, got off to a fine start when Terry Reynolds scored in the fifth minute following good work by Ron Cole.
Cole and Reynolds linked again to lay on Sun's second goal for John Matthews in the 40th minute, but Rovers reduced the arrears before half time.
Both sides scored from penalties in the second half.
Matthews making it 3-1 for Sun after 53 minutes and Rovers pulling one back 20 minutes later.
Rovers, who came back strongly in the closing stages, salvaged a point with that last gasp goal.
