Insulators Reserves 4 vs 4 speldhurst rangers

Insulators took the old adage ofnkeeping things tight first ten minutes and threw it out the window as within 20 seconds they found themselves 1 nil down

The next 40 minutes saw Slators push for an equaliser with the Speldhurst keeper saving smartly from Jake Freeman and a a couple of tame efforts from the home side

Then defending a free kick too deeply and missing the initial header cost Slators dearly as Speldhurst went 2 up after 44 minutes and made it 3 nil less than a minute later as Slators were made to pay the penalty for not tracking thier runners

With no option but to attack Insulators swapped to a 3 5 2 formation and were enjoying the better of the play when a speculative effort from Speldhurst finished in the back of the net

Less than half an hour to play Thomas Roberts set up Sam Minter-Friers for what looked like a consolation goal but when Toby Gandell set up Harry Mascall for goal 2 it set up a tense final 10 minutes

Toby Gandell turned provider of sorts again as his was fouled in the box and Harry Mascall calmly scored the penalty

Just a minute left on the clock and Harry Mascall completed his hat trick and a memorable come back for insulators

A great effort to keep going when 4 down and shows the spirit that has been a characteristic of Insulators in their 50+ years of playing in the league
