Evo Stik Division One South
Chasetown 1-2 Shaw Lane Aquaforce
Lee Bennett’s progress is halted during Shaw Lane’s 2-1 win at Chasetown
Goals from deadly duo James Walshaw and Gavin Allott kept Shaw Lane’s title dreams alive.
The pair struck in the first half to keep the heat on runaway leaders Stafford Rangers. Walshaw, who is now suspended for three matches, fired them ahead after just five minutes with a drilled finish.
Allott doubled the lead from close range. Paul Sullivan brought Chasetown back into it on the stroke of half-time.
Aquaforce did ride a bit of luck at the start of the second half, but they held on and captain Matt Thornhill should have even killed Chasetown off with a glorious chance.
Shaw Lane Aquaforce: Morgan, Stohrer, O’Brien, Istead, Radford, Meynell, Wafula, Thornhill, Allott, Walshaw, Bennett. Subs: Priestley, Hands, Dempsey, P Davidson.
