Deeside Dragons women remained at the top of the Division Two North table after a 4-4 draw at Nottingham Vipers, which was confirmed with less than 10 seconds remaining!
Deeside opened the scoring with a goal from Niamh Walsh on three minutes, but Nottingham equalised seven minutes later to make it 1-1 at the first period break.
Vipers upped their game in the second period and had more of the play but it was Deeside who scored the only goal of the period – from Walsh again - on 28 minutes to lead 2-1 at the second interval.
Nottingham levelled again on 43 minutes and then edged into the lead for the first time just four minutes later.
Niamh Walsh fired in her hat-trick goal five minutes after that to put Deeside back level, only for Nottingham to regain the lead again with just 90 seconds left on the clock.
Dragons called a time-out to discuss strategy and they threw everything they could muster at the Vipers goal. The pressure paid off and Walsh’s fourth goal of the game with just nine seconds left to play secured a point for Deeside.
Walsh was named MVP for the Dragons after her four–goal haul.
