A late report this, and a little scant on detail, but Chatham started the improbable dream on Saturday with a 3-2 win over Neil Shipperley's Walton Casuals at TOSC. Chatham were actually at times very good.
The big news was that Paul Foley finally quit on Thursday, and Kevin Watson has taken over for the impossible dream. He certainly worked some magic, and a Chatham side that could name just three subs, including Watson, looked likely to struggle when first half injuries to Ibermere and Shinners saw youth players Kane Packer and Charlie Ticehurst come on. Both of them made a huge difference, combining with Ryan Laker who was played in midfield, and a rejuvenated Joe Fuller to launch pacy attacks at the Walton defence.
Chatham are five points adrift of safety with just two games remaining after Corinthian Casuals lost 6-0 at Whitehawk. This can still happen - away to Eastbourne this afternoon, we might find out that actually we're stuffed, but hope is a wonderful thing. You just never know in football...
