Great Chishill 1 Whittlesford Res 0

GARETH Edey's second half penalty ended Chishill's poor run of form, and gave them the BIS League points.

While it was not one of the home team's better attacking displays, they showed some good resilience against a battling Whittlesford side.

There were good openings for both sides during the first half, but neither keeper was really tested. Nick Bramwell had to be alert to block a shot on the lie, while Russell Drury came closest for Chishill, but he dragged his left foot shot just wide from Luke Tyler's corner.

Tom Hodge and Jonathan Drury were both creating good opportunities down the flanks, but there was rarely anyone on the end of their crosses.

During the second half, it was an evenly fought battle, but Chishill always looked the more likely team to break the deadlock.

Steve McGee was working hard on his own up front, but failed to find a finish to go with his good runs.

Tyler drove a free kick just wide, as Chishill continued to look solid at the back.

They were finally rewarded with 10 minutes remaining when Jonathan Hodge was fouled in the box and Edey blasted high into the net to seal the three points.

Chishill: Gallagher, R Drury, Rogers, Gardiner, Bramwell, T Hodge, Tyler, E Drury, Edey, J Drury, McGee. Subs: Manning, J Hodge, Jackson.

- Chishill travel to Abington United on Saturday before hosting Ashdon Villa on Tuesday evening, kick off 6.15pm.
