5.2.05 – LEAGUE
Clanfield started this match the brighter side, and for long periods of the game they had CFY pinned back in their own half. The visitors created a number of attacks on goal, but keeper Lee Robertson and the back three of Godfrey, Bromhead and Phillips soaked up the pressure and dealt with everything that was thrown at them.
Chandlers Ford began to find their feet towards the end of the half when they strung some good attacking moves together with Matt Lucas at the heart of it. Lucas made a great run past two players before picking out Jozef Montigue who was free in side of the penalty area on the right hand side, but Montigue’s strike was off target.
Neither side could find a break through in a very close first half between two sides that were evenly matched, despite the difference in position in the league table.
It was Clanfield who made a good start to the second half, when they broke the deadlock minutes after the interval. CFY gave away a free kick on the right hand side by the half way line, which was taken quickly and pumped forward into the feet of the skilful Clanfield striker Leroy Rudd who neatly chipped the Chandlers Ford keeper from a tight angle from range.
The home side were then awarded a penalty when Galloway was brought down in the box. Matt Lucas stepped up and converted the penalty with a neat finish into the bottom right hand corner to grab the equaliser for Chandlers Ford.
Both sides battled away and both sides had chances to win the game, but it was CFY and top goalscorer Ronan Galloway who grabbed a dramatic winner with seconds to play. After another good move by Chandlers Ford, a great counter attack saw Galloway put through one on one with the Clanfield keeper which he coolly placed into the back of the net from distance.
