Chippenham 0 Hx 4

[cup of tea]

Fantastic result, early exchanges were fairly even but then Hornchurch found another gear and really set about the home side, Will Greenidge causing havoc down the left hand side. Hoping to see the first goal again, what a great free kick by Charlee Adams. Next a well taken goal by Darren McQueen, held his nerve after being put through. Second half more of the same, the home side only demonstrating in glimpses the passing that had been so impressive in the reverse fixture. Great third goal by Angelo Balanta low shot into the bottom corner , again well taken and the 4th - Charlie Pegrum seized on a mistake by a defender to calmly slot home the 4th - much to the delight to a fan club he appears to have picked up! Subs and being 0-4 up appeared to slow us down at the end and our opponents got a few chances at the end, one shot hitting the crossbar and another just needing a touch to knock it in. Hornchurch were clearly the better side however and thoroughly deserved the win. We had the perfect hosts , officials , stewards and fans alike were really friendly , will be looking for this fixture next season. Great way to end a great season back at this level and just a shout out to the away fans who have been tremendous all season. Well done - to everyone! COYU

To finish ninth in our first season back at this level is an excellent achievement. We’ve come top of the chasing pack.
