Streatham seal last gasp win over Jets

After beating title rivals Solent Devils on the South Coast just 24 hours earlier, the hosts we rocked by two big omissions from the line up with Player Coach Michael Farn and fellow blueliner Jordan Gregory ruled out.

Nate Gregory made his first start between the pipes in a number of weeks, in an otherwise unchanged line up for the hosts.

For the third home game running, Streatham fell behind early on, this time thanks to an effort from Jets Captain Adam Rosbottom who opened the scoring with 6:30 gone on the clock.

The score would remain that way until ten minutes into the second period, when Josh Ealey-Newman rounded Brett Shepherd to equalise, after the Slough stopper had initially saved a Milique Martelly effort.

The game remained deadlocked at 1-1 across almost the whole final period, as Streatham looked to be joining the rest of South London by running out of petrol, while Slough looked dangerous by chipping pucks out of the zone and hoping to break on the counter.

Just as the crowd were settling in for the first overtime action of the season, Scott Bailey teed up Ben Ealey-Newman as the latter burst into the slot with seven seconds to go and buried the puck into the back of the net for a powerplay winner.

The goal was cruel on a young Slough side who'd have felt they'd done enough to get a point from the game with their resolute defending , but ultimately skated off with nothing. 

Streatham next face Solent Devils at Streatham Arena on Sunday and tickets are available online now.
