GREAT Chishill slipped closer to the relegation battle on Saturday when they were beaten by fellow strugglers Mott McDonald.
The visitors faced a strong wind in the first half, which the hosts used to great advantage, creating several opportunities from long balls forward.
Chishill held firm for most of the half, and played some neat football with Jonathan Drury going closest when his strike rattled the McDonald woodwork.
Steve McGee also tested the hosts' keeper at the near post.
However, it was Mott McDonald who opened the scoring with a brilliant 20-yard strike.
