6.11.04 - LEAGUE

Clanfield started the game the better side and were rewarded a goal from a well-taken free kick early on. Chandlers Ford Youth were finding it hard to push through Clanfield's strong midfield, however as the half went on Chandlers Ford Youth became the stronger and managed to get back in the game with two quick goals from Ronan Galloway to take the lead.
David Phillips came up for a corner and knocked in a corner off his knee, but they all count, and this importantly increased Chandlers Ford Youth’s lead to 3-1 just before half time.

HALF TIME – Clanfield 1-3 Chandlers Ford

In the second half Chandlers Ford's picked up the pace and began to increase rapidly in confidence. Their strength in midfield and quick passing helped create a flurry of chances. Sabri Elmasri popped up with two good goals, which increased the lead to 5-1.

However Clanfield were determined to keep fighting, and a good cross was turned in nicely from a free kick to pull it back to 5-2.

This only spurred Chandlers Ford on to score more goals. They were rewarded with a penalty after Ronan Galloway was chopped down in the box, but Jozef Montigue stepped up shot straight at the keeper. He then made up for his penalty mistake by a great run from the halfway line before poking a cool finish past the Clanfield keeper.

Galloway completed his hat trick with another trademark goal late on to make the score 8-2, before Reece Middleton scored his first goal in the league since coming back from injury.

Clanfield didn’t give up and managed to score a very late goal from a quick break up the pitch managing to catch the Chandlers Ford defence out.

With minutes to go Galloway completed the rout with his fourth and Chandlers Ford’s ninth to seal a good victory for CFY.
