Latest Weekly Round-up.

There are no Cup matches to report this week so we start our weekly round-up for Sunday 31 March 2019 with our Match of the Day and this week that comes from Chadwick End where visitors Blackdown were hoping to close in on the Division 4 Title.

Chadwick End Reserves 2 Blackdown 1

With the pitch looking good and a lovely Sunny Sunday morning everything was set up for a great game. Unfortunately for Blackdown the morning did not go to plan. Blackdown nearly took the lead following a corner that was headed off the line at the back post. Thomas Wale continued to make a nuisance of himself and was rewarded with a goal shortly before half time to put the home side ahead. It remained tight but gaps were appearing as Blackdown pushed for an equaliser. With ten minutes to go , a scramble in the box, the ball was half cleared, straight to Conor Chamberlain on the edge of the Chadwick box, his shot bounced straight through the despairing defenders and into the net. From the Kick off we go straight up the other end and the keeper punches the ball away for a corner. Chadwick take the kick and the referee blows. The back post defender catches the ball and the referee awards a penalty Kick to Chadwick. Despite protestations the Penalty kick stands and Thomas Wale scores his second from the spot. Blackdown to their credit continued to look for another equaliser and the Chadwick keeper had to make a magnificent save with his finger tips to push a header over the bar with seconds left on the clock. Blackdown drop points, the League title is still up for grabs but the Leamington boys must feel robbed of the point they deserved. They still sit at the Top of the Table with points in the bank, and Chadwick are now second.
