Chatham 1 - 1 Worthing

On reflection, a good result. In reality, both sides were very poor today, just three shots on target, of which two were the penalties that claimed both goals.

Uche Ibemere the only exciting thing on a truly dull game where you did have to wonder where the fight and the spirit was for a Chatham side who desperately needed three points. Chatham lacked confidence everywhere. A tough job for the manager to motivate a side low on luck and money, but the manager's job that is.

Not much more to say - young Ryan Laker did a commendable job at the back, Molloy pulled off a good save from the one shot on target, but Chatham need confidence all over the park - if everyone could play like Ibemere did, that is with drive and belief, then we would have easily has three points today against a lacklustre Worthing. The referee was even off form, failing to issue bookings for raised hands in once instance, and disgraceful abuse from the Worthing captain which he would have been justified in issuing a straight red card.

Still, Corinthian Casuals lost at Godalming, which puts Chatham five points clear of the drop, having played three games more. In a way that puts the league in perspective, Fleet Town, who beat Chatham 3-1 last week, went down 6-0 at Burgess Hill, where Chats secured a point three weeks ago. Funny old game eh?

Chatham: Molloy, Rice, Laker, Parkinson, Watson, Wilkins, Fuller, Barton, Shinners, Ward, Ibemere.

MOM: Ibemere.
