Chailey 18th September 2005

Score : Chailey 3 Saint Hill Blues 0

Saint Hill Blues started the game with 3 squad members not available so all the subs on the sideline had a chance to make a difference. A difference was required after the Saints shipped 2 early goals in the first quarter. The new shape of the defence struggled to contain the fast running Chailey forwards who were racing down the slop catching the Saints off guard. Once Elliott Saxton dropped deeper the game became more even. The second half saw the Saints trying to inflict the same damage on Chailey but their defence were more aware of the speed down the slope and held firm against some speculative attempts on goal by the Saints. Saints needed a goal to lift them and heads started to drop especially when the Chailey keeper made some great saves. He wasn't alone as Will Bishop made some great saves as well to keep the Saints in the game. Saints went 3 at the back and pushed on another midfielder but a late goal by Chailey saw off a muted Saint Hill performance.Â
