The Invicta Dynamos pulled a great victory out of the bag by coming back from two-nil down to win four-two and grab two vital league points.

Invicta were missing huge numbers again, having to make do without the services of Nicky Lewis, Haydn Wootton, Taylor Wootton, Adam McNicoll, James Richardson, Steve Osman and Harrison Lillis.

The first period started with an early goal for the home side after only 28 seconds. Damien King’s save from Marek Nahlik was in vein as John Connolly was on hand to tap home. A minute later the Dynamos had a powerplay after Thomas Beesley tripped Ashley Jackson – the Dynamos were their own worst enemy after committing too many men on the ice resulting in a 4 on 4 situation.

Once both teams returned to full strength the London Raiders doubled their lead on 7:32 – Ross Connolly striking into Damien King’s net assisted by JJ Pitchley and Matt France. The Dynamos needed a bit of magic to get going and it came on 11:29, Josh Condren evading 3 challenges to poke the puck past Euan King when sliding to the ground for 2-1.

The second period initially started with both teams cancelling each other out. Other than a few powerplay advantages for both teams neither could capitalise when having an extra man.

The Dynamos drew level on 38:13 through Ashley Jackson who done well to slot past Euan King following good build up work from Arran Strawson and Adam Rehak.

Barely a minute later the Dynamos completed a great comeback to lead 3-2 on 39:17 – Adam Rehak this time on the score sheet and Ashley Jackson claiming an assist. On the end of period buzzer tempers flared when J.J Pitchley went in for a challenge after the time was up.

The final period continued to see both sides cancel each other out for the first 10 minutes, Damien King only having one shot to save before being replaced by deputy John Dibble.

Dibble had to make a great save from Nahlik not long after being introduced with time ticking along to a finish. With only three minutes remaining London called a timeout which led to Mason Webster almost nicking a goal for Invicta when play resumed.

An Invicta timeout on the final minute led to Euan King being pulled with the home side hoping an extra skater would help push for an equaliser – but it was the Dynamos who went on to score,  Adam Rehak scoring unassisted into an empty net to complete a memorable comeback and 4-2 winning scoreline.

The hardworking Ashley Jackson collected the man of the match award having been an instrumental figure in the victory.
