Match Report
Cheshunt 2 Clevedon Town 1
It became obvious from an early stage that confidence was low for both of these bottom of the league-table sides. The first worthy attack of the game came in the 13th minute when Matt Rawlins low shot was well saved by the home keeper after some good build up play by Kris Witcombe and Jack Pitcher, soon after Danny Greaves made two superb saves in the visitors goal. The first of only 5 corners of the game was awarded to Clevedon after 26 minutes, disappointingly nothing came of this set piece. Matt Rawlins scored his first goal since returning to the club on 38 minutes following some neat moves by Ryan Harvard and Jack Pitcher. Just before half time Cheshunt's George Gregoriou was dismissed for an ugly tackle on Danny Haines.
The second period from Clevedon's perspective was very poor, Ryan Harvard was dismissed for a second bookable offence on the hour, Manager Phil Bater made two changes with Matt Rawlins and Mike Trought being replaced with Mitchell Page and Ben Willshire, with the sides even again it was Cheshunt who took the initiative on 78 minutes when substitute Bobby Highton equalised with a rasping 25 yard shot, with their tails up Cheshunt broke from the restart to find Town's defence had gone AWOL, and it was left for Michael Deane to tap in a simple match winner. With ten minutes remaining there was still time for Clevedon to get something out of this game, however, the strong finishing we have been accustomed to of late was not forthcoming.
