Chard B 0 Chard A 1

The inter-club derby was the last game before the Xmas break and saw a tighter game than the previous encounter with neither side creating many clear cut chances. The B team started the more brightly with a youthful energetic mid-field of Ryan Lewis, Tom Float and Charlie Grossey pressing the A team back but despite all their endeavours there was not a killer pass as the back two of the A’s Arthur Critchely and Paul Tratt marshalled the area in front of the D very well. The only goal came as a wayward pass as Chard were on the offensive was moved to the newly arrived Kyle Wheaton who muscled his way to the edge of the D and crossed for Gareth Eggle to slot in the corner.

The second half was messy as both teams tryied to squeeze everything through the middle of the pitch, for the B team special mention to James Float who stood out for his tireless commitment, with the ball not being passed to the wings, play was also interrupted by a number of fouls which stopped any rhythm in play, however the A team became the more dominant team as the half went on and Whetaon had a number of chances go past the post. Squads, Bs - Johnson, Lewis (F), Mooney (K), Swann, Mooney (I), Cheffey, Float (T), Grossey, Lewis (R), Cooper (B), Squire, Bromfield, Lewis (D), As - Green, Critchley, Tratt, Mahoney, Eames, Lane, Wheaton (G), Eggle, Wheaton (K), Knight, Horne, Kennard, Goss.
