Faversham Town 2-1 Chipstead
Starting line up:
William Godmon,
Ryan Cooper, Jamie Maxted, Matthew Bourne, John Scarboroough,
Josh Stanford, Daniel Carrington, Charley Robertson, Renford Tenyue,
Luke Harvey, Liam King.
First things first. We deserved to win this game. Apart from that, I'm struggling to know where to start. From a halfway line
shouty persons perspective, this provided the proverbial rollercoaster of emotions.
Low points (with swearing), plenty of tension-(how/when are we going to win this game?)
and the most incredible high with a hint of incredulity thrown in.
Me, well I'd got this down as a must win game, so that might explain some of the above.
Much has been made this week re parked buses. And sure enough, certainly in the first half,
Chipstead duly parked theirs.
So onwards.
Slowish start, it takes a while to register chances, but we're probing.
Our left, Renford Tenyue beats his man, gets close to the byline. Fouled. Liam King's free-kick
is met by Luke Harvey, the header loops over the bar. On the edge of the area, Charley Robertson
makes himself some space, a neat drag back, the shot finds the right hand side netting.
A Charley Robertson run cuts through their midfield, lays off for Liam King. Fouled. Jamie Maxted's free-kick
is handballed somewhere in the wall, Free-kick on the edge of the D. Jamie'e second free-kick cannons
off of the wall. A long punt out of the Chipstead defence, finds a man on their right, a cross into
the box, the shot on target is parried by our keeper and turned away for a corner by Jamie Maxted.
But the first alarm. At the other end, a Liam king corner, played short to Renford Tenyue, fashions
a shooting opportunity, saved, Jamie Maxted picks up the loose ball, poked goalwards, but again saved.
0-0 at H-T.
Renford Tenyue skins his man down the left, to the byline, into the box, crosses, Luke Harvey's acrobatic
kick is defelected over for a corner. Ryan Copper's long throw into the box, a bit of head-tennis, out to
Matthew Bourne on the edge of the area, heads back in, Luke Harvey's flicked header is grabbed out of the
air by their keeper. And then on about 70, disaster, we lose possession in midfield, now out wide right,
a really quality ball into the box, drops to their man at the right hand post, and somehow it's squeezed
in just inside the post. Still not completely sure how that happened. It took a while to sink in that
Chipstead had scored. And at that moment, it looked like it might be one of those games. Dominate the game,
but beaten by the sucker punch. This is when the swearing I alluded to earlier took place.
To be fair to Chipstead, their goal did coincide with them venturing out of the bus a little.
But the perfect riposte. Within a minute, out left, their number 2 drags back our man (sorry-didn't make a note
on whom). Free-kick and a booking. Charley Robertson steps up, high, looping ball towards the right hand
post, and straight into the net, corner thereof. Did anyone get a touch? A defender, Liam King and Jamie Maxted
were in close attendance. Not sure, but in she goes and we're back on terms. 1-1. Kieron Campbell is on
for Josh Stanford. So can we go on and win this now? Renford Tenyue, from the right, delivers an exquisite
cross into the box, both Luke Harvey and Liam King, desperate attempts to get on the end of it. Just fall
short, just needed that touch. And with time running down, we're awarded a free-kick inside our half.
Didn't make a note of where, it didn't seem important at the time. But I think just outside the centre circle.
William Godman takes, similar in trajectory to Charley Robertson's, delivered into the area, John Scarborough is
making a complete nuisance of himself, the keeper gets nothing on it and the ball obligingly
bounces ino the net. Incredible. Witness a) one helluva celebration on and off pitch. Absolute jubilation.
b) probably the longest distance required for FTFC players to run to congratulate the goalscorer this season.
Ashley Brown and Mobolaji Dawodu are late substitutes for Charley Robertson and Luke Harvey.
2-1 at F-T.
Reasons to be cheerful:
a) Persistance. Despite dominating, at certain times it had the look of "one of those days". Nothing of the
sort. Our team kept going to the very end. 3 very, very important points.
b) William Godmon. Been superb for us this season. But now he's adding goals to his game as well. Fantastic.
c) shoutyMarks splendid new FTFC banner heralds in a win. Wonderful.
d) the celebratory beer tastes particularly good this evening. Cheers.
South Park away on Wednesday. See you there. COYW.
