Another mixed bag with us beginning the game with pace and purpose. And we were good value for the 2 goal lead with scores from Bassett and a long range blinder from Roberts. But our control evaporated after about 20 mins and we ended up in a bit of a scrap for the rest of the game. They pulled one back with one of their first real attacks and we were indebted to Pierson for another fine 1 on 1 stop after another defensive slip up.

The second half carried on in the same vein and was a bit scrappy, although there seemed to be a belief in the Chatham side that they could get back into it. We had a couple of defensive hiccups but we also showed a bit of resolve at the back as well.  However it was us who scored next when Dunn got the ball outside the box and lined up his shot which found the back of the net courtesy of a deflection.  I'm sure it was going in anyway! Their 2nd goal came in the 90th minute from rather a straightforward free kick and header. We had the chance to wrap it up a minute or so later but it didn't matter as the whistle went to calm my nerves.

In summary it was good to see all our forwards on the scoresheet but we do look a bit fragile at the back at times.
