Chandlers Ford 3-3 Portchester B

CHANDLERS FORD YOUTH 3-3 PORTCHESTER ‘B’
30.10.04 - LEAGUE

Despite CFY having all fifteen members of their squad available for the first time this season, they struggled to get going against a quick and determined Portchester side.

Portchester scored early on as their heavy pressure paid off. They took the lead from a quick break away with Connor Blyth providing the finishing touch. However Chandlers Ford didn’t let this get to them, and they continued to battle on and create chances. Eventually they stepped up a gear and started to dominate the possession. Chandlers Ford’s hard work was rewarded when free scoring Ronan Galloway pulled two vital goals back to take the lead and also had a third disallowed.

HALF TIME - CFY 2-1 Portchester

CFY started the stronger of the two sides in the second half and were soon 3-1 in front as Jozef Montigue reacted quickest in the box following a good cross from Dale Hansford.

Despite CFY's continued pressure they didn’t take their chances, which eventually cost them dear. Portchester came back into the game late on when their strikers pounced on sloppy defending to claim a draw that really should have been a win for Chandlers Ford.
Reece Middleton had the chance to clinch a win for Chandlers Ford but his blistering free kick was well saved by the Portchester keeper.
