Draw at Streatham

Last night saw the Invicta Knights visit Streatham for the return leg, the game started with what seemed to be the complete opposite of the game a couple of weeks ago and while the Statesmen just couldnt seem to find any rythm, the Knights raced away to a 3 goal lead and a short-handed one to finish off the period in the last minute.
The Knights carried that momentum into the second and scored just after 5 mins to take a commanding 4-0 lead, it seemed like it was going to be one of those nights (pardon the pun) until Ty scored just a couple of mins later from a nice feed from Lukas. This sparked off tit for tat goals in the second with the Knights scoring 4 mins after then Milan 2 mins later the Knights 2 mins after that and Ty 1 min after to finish off the period at 3-6.
The Statesmen had renewed confidence in the 3rd and with James and Lukas linking up well they went on a roll of 4 unanswered goals between them for the Statesmen to take the lead, in between was some slight handbags seeing 2 Statesmen ejected and 1 Knights player. Unfortunately the lead lasted only a couple of mins and the Knights equalised with 4 mins to go, a tie game and an enjoyable one.
MOTM Lukas (can he do no wrong?)
