Rovers defenders get to grips with Edgware's strikeforce
Saturday December 1st 2007
Ryman League Division 1 North
Great Wakering Rovers 1 (Clarke 85)
Edgware Town 1 (Chakaodza 61)
Attendance 109
Draw specialists Edgware had to settle yet again for a share of the points as they succumbed to an 85th minute equaliser at Great Wakering Rovers.
Edgware switched from their more customary 3-5-2 to a 3-4-3 formation, with all three strikers having efforts on goal, Stuart Blackburne and Adam Walllace coming close whilst Kevin Chakaodza proved a handful for the home defence, however they lacked that killer touch, as the sides went in level at the break.
The second period saw Edgware take the game to their hosts and Blackburne had a shot from distance that was well saved, moments later Johnny Moore came close inside the area as Louis Green in the home goal became the busier of the two keepers.
Edgware went ahead on 61 minutes, Gavin Hart’s cross tucked away with aplomb from close range by Kevin Chakaodza his first goal in only his second appearance for the Wares.
Further chances came Edgware’s way as they looked to make sure of the win, but with just five minutes left on the clock, the Wares defence were caught in disarray, and with Bonfield out of position a cross from the Rovers right found Sam Clarke who gratefully lobbed the ball into the net.
Edgware remain winless in their last seven matches, SIX of them resulting in draws! However the Wares still have the least number of defeats in the league with just 2 reverses.
Dartford stretched their lead at the top of 1 North after thumping Enfield Town 6-1 at Princess Park, Edgware remain in 2nd place as results elsewhere went in their favour with draws for AFC Sudbury and Bury Town, whilst Canvey’s match at Witham was abandoned. The only team to make ground in the top six was Maldon Town.
Edgware are next in action on Tuesday night when the visit Arlesey Town for a Ryman League Cup 4th round tie.
In an entertaining contest, ‘Rovers’ came closest to taking the lead in the first half but were denied several times by the efforts of Wares keeper Darren Bonfield.
