St Andrews of the Hendon & District Sunday League were facing FA Sunday Cup oblivion with a minute of normal time to go in yesterday's Second Round tie at Edgware.

2-0 down to Moat from Bedfordshire at half-time, they had reduced the arrears on 66 minutes but time was running out for Saints as they threw everything forward to try and force extra time.

They did more than that. Craig Tompkins, the ‘double’ of Birmingham City striker Cameron Jerome, was in the right place to chip over the retreating Moat 'keeper to equalise in the 90th minute and then went on to complete a sensational hat-trick in the four minutes of stoppage time. And he had only just come on as a substitute!

St Andrews threatened the Moat goal on several occasions in the opening minutes, Dean Silvester expertly holding the ball up in the middle and Aaron McLeish looking particularly dangerous with his high-speed sorties down the left.

It was very much against the run of play when Moat's Tony Campbell back-headed a long free-kick into net despite being clattered from behind by the Saints 'keeper on 18 minutes.

Saints seemed to spend most of their time in Moat's penalty area but several shots fizzed just wide and 'keeper Ady Gage dealt efficiently with anything that was on target.

Moat's attacking continued to be sporadic but the home defence opened up to allow Karl Hilton to rifle in a second goal on 33 minutes. McLeish then clipped the bar as he stretched for a far-post cross and Saints must have felt it wasn't going to be their day.

They certainly turned the screw in the second half, with skipper Darren Butler outstanding as he ran everywhere to try and set up chances for his team-mates. Paul Killick showed what a hard shot he had with a blast from a free-kick that nearly knocked Gage over as he clutched the ball to his chest. Almost immediately, on 66 minutes, Killick only had to stroke the ball home after being put through in the inside-right channel.

Moat defended superbly and bravely as the crosses rained in near the end. In the last minute of normal time, Gage rushed out to punch clear from Butler's head and the ball fell to Tompkins on the right. Looking up to see the 'keeper off his line, he chipped it perfectly over his head and just under the bar.

Saints were very much in the ascendancy now and were not about to settle for playing an extra half-hour. Tompkins thumped home two left footers, in the third and fourth minutes of stoppage time, to produce an unlikely finale to a very entertaining tie.
