SplitN backwards?

I have a string that will always start with a sentence that well change each time but end with time then date. For example "I went to the shop 12:00 12/12/12" or "I like toast 11:20 13/10/14".

I want to extract the time out of these strings. Is it possible to do SplitN starting from the right?

If you know that it will always end with time and then date why not just go backwards with split?

Playground link

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "strings"
)

func main() {
    s := "I went to the shop 12:00 12/12/12"
    chunks := strings.Split(s, " ")
    time := chunks[len(chunks)-2]
    fmt.Println(time)
}
