A very good first half, with 4 good chances and two perfect ones .. only one of which was taken, quite brilliantly by the combined efforts of Tom Mehew and Joe Andrews. Thought we'd be punished for not getting a deserved 2nd or 3rd and nearly were when we came out looking lacklustre and off-it in the the second half.  They had their tails up and we looked anything but composed, repeatedly letting them get straight back at us with a succession of chances and corners.  We did  ride the storm, though, and thanks to Will Dawes' brilliant piece of control and decisive release, we burglared a good second goal on the counter.  Thereafter, with some extra muscle in AAH at the back we saw the game out very professionally. I don't know what was going on with Will Dawes.. but  a compadre suggested that, given his earlier Red at Chesham, they might have been targeting him deliberately, hoping for a repeat..  There was quite a lot of heated "dialogue" between their bench and Will.  Happily he did his most significant talking on the pitch and was a particular threat in the first half.

At last we got to see Parsons and McClure on the pitch together for over an hour, thought they did pretty well up front.If we were short of defenders thought AAH might have started at the back, Chesham did have the upper in the second half.Pleased to see how we attacked for the majority of the game.Concerned that for both Tuesday night games crowds of less than 400.
