Sun Sports 3 Met. Police Bushey 3                    1993/94                           HCL Prem

Late goals nick point from Police

Two goals in the last ten minutes rescued a point for reigning Premier Division champions
Sun Sports at home to Met Police Bushey.
It needed late strikes from Paul Walters and Alan Langdale to snatch a point for Sun after they had seemed set for all three at one stage.
Playing against the wind in the first period, Darren Hardwick sent Sun into an interval lead after scoring in the 25th minute.
With the winds at their backs in the second period, Sun were clear favourites and had their fair share of chances.
But the Police shocked their hosts by getting back on level terms within five minutes of the restart when Colin Christie sold the Sun a dummy only to be brought down.
Renny Grant stepped up and dispatched the penalty.
Harry Baldwin then came on and his pace caused Sun instant problems, giving the visitors the lead in the 55th minute and then latching onto the end of a Grant pass to score the third in the 73rd minute.
For all the chances Sun had, they looked as if they would finish pointless until Walters and Langdale came up with the goods in the last 10 minutes.
The Police, with an average age of 31, began to run out of steam and Sun could have nicked it in the final minute.
"We had chance after chance," said Sun spokesman Tom Barber, "but I can't remember when a side last scored three against our first team."
"I thought we did well," said the Police's Jim Howard, "a draw was probably a fair result."

Sun Sports Reserves, meanwhile, won 2-1 at Bedmond Social Reserves.
Ian Pepper and Mark Williams gave Sun a two goal lead before a controversial second half strike gave the home side a consolation.
