Home league match
Chipstead revived their promotion hopes with a fine win over rivals Teddington.
Pressing the Teddington back line from the start the Chips managed the game superbly and took the lead when Aydan latching onto a through ball from Nathan , slotted the ball past the advancing keeper.
Fighting hard for every ball, the Chips for the most part kept the dangerous Teddington number 9 in check and went further ahead when Nathan scored from a well worked corner.
A minor lapse in concentration was enough for Teddington to reduce the deficit when their right winger found himself unmarked and shot past Nico into the corner of the goal.
Immediately after the restart, Chipstead restored their two goal lead when Nathan scored latching onto through ball which split the Teddington defence.
The second half saw Chipstead employ a more cautious approach, defending well in the face of several attacks from Teddington. Nico was on his best form making four top class saves when inevitably the Teddington forwards managed to get their shots away.
At the other end, Chipstead were unlucky not to add to their lead when Aydan blasted his shot over the bar from a great counter-attack. A further foray into the Teddington penalty area resulted in a fine save from the Teddington keeper, with the ball eventually being cleared off the line from the resultant goal mouth scramble.
Within the last 10 minutes Chipstead for the most part managed the game although the final play in the match resulted in a fine diving save from Nico to prevent Teddington getting a last minute goal back.
Overall, a great team performance which will give the boys confidence going into the last match of the season.
