A goal in the very last second by Ben Walker earned Cambridge a dramatic 7-6 win over Otter in men's Championship 3 at Grantham today.
The game was even from the start and progressed to 6-6 midway through the third period. After that, it was a matter of Otter somehow surviving a Cambridge onslaught while suffering half a dozen exclusions. A point for Otter was on the cards until Walker's last-ditch effort.
In another closely fought match, Castleford lost for the first time in Championship 3 - 12-11 to York City. Castleford battled back from 8-5 down to pull level at 10-10 four minutes from the end, only for York to strike vital goals through Paul Floyd and Dean Toomey. Alex Hall's fourth goal immediately afterwards came too late to save his team. For York, Ben Pacey, Chris Burns and Nick Boaz all scored three goals.
