A Kevin Chakadoza strike a minute from time was enough to give Edgware a vital victory and keep the Wares playoff hopes alive in a 1-0 win against Bedfordshire side Arlesey Town at the White Lion this afternoon.
Draw specialists Edgware were on route to their 15th stalemate of the season, until Chakaodza won the match with a speculative shot from inside the area on 89 minutes.
The goal may have had an element of fortune attached to it, but having gone the previous three league matches scoreless Edgware won't quarrel over any presents that come their way.
Earlier in the match the home side had come close when Ben Hayden's header was parried by 'Blues' keeper Jake Wincup, moments later Greg Ngoyi attempted an acrobatic volley that saw the ball sail over the bar.
Arlesey offered little in the way of threat with their front runners kept in check by an ably marshaled defense led by Wares skipper Rory Smith.
The performance was an improvement on last weekend's five goal drubbing at Redbridge, though still somewhere short of the form the Wares showed earlier in the campaign.
The match finished controversially as Edgware's Richard Morton was shown a straight red by referee Robert Mackay for a challenge he deemed dismissible somewhat harshly.
Edgware remain 5th occupying the last play off berth, with Redbridge 1pt behind with a game in hand hot on their heels after another impressive win, 4-1 at Enfield Town.
The Wares travel to Essex to take on Brentwood who still harbor playoff aspirations next Saturday.
Match Rating 2 out 5
MOTM Dennis Maharajan always a threat with intelligent play
