Confident Yachtsmen unlucky not to take all 3 points against Cheshunt

Tom Joyce22 Apr 2013 - 20:42

Wroxham travelled to Cheshunt in confident mood following 3 wins in 4.

The Yachtsmen went into this game with 10 points from 12 and looked confident from the outset.

Manager David Batch made 5 changes to the starting line up who beat Harlow comfortably just 40 hours earlier, with Eastaugh, Harrop, Jones, Durrant and Remi Gordon all returning, the latter after missing the last 2 months after working abroad.

Thompson drew first blood, with a well struck shot being turned round the post by the home keeper.

He was in action just minutes later, making a fine double save from Thompson and Eastaugh which led to yet another corner.

The visitors were in the ascendency and Blake was next to try his luck after being put in one v one on a slight angle - the goalkeeper reaching it just before the pacey forward could get a touch.

Wroxham were all over their hosts and Ben Thompson was in almost a carbon copy position of Blake just monies afterwards - again, the keeper came to the home sides rescue.

A good first half for Wroxham with Jessup enjoying a quiet stroll in the Wroxham goal.

Half time 0-0

If you thought half time came at the right time for the hosts you were wrong, as The Yachtsmen continued to knock on the door of the home goal.

Fluent passing and movement from the attackers saw Wroxham forwards continually get into 3v2 and 4v2 positions and the home side were unable to cope with the pace and power of Thompson, Blake and Durant.

Time after time chances came Wroxham's way and Blake missed a great opportunity after a fine cross on the run from Durrant.

The Wroxham bench were clear with their intentions and sent on Speller and Daniels at the expense of Harrop and Blake in an attempt to make their chances count.

Shortly afterwards another great opportunity went their way as a four on one situation developed but the final ball let the visitors attack down.

As often happens, Cheshunt then began to press and had 2 corners in quick succession, the second leading to a great opportunity which was well blocked by Eastaugh.

Wroxham didnt have to defend their box too much all afternoon and it was just that they then went and created a golden opportunity with Durrant heading tamely at the goalkeeper from 3 yards out when he should've done better.

Full time 0-0.
