Poole Town 3 Chesham Utd 0

Southern Premier League

2 April 2016

This was an easy win against the team lying second in the form table. Two headed goals from Brooks in the first half saw no real response and the Dolphins wrapped up the points with a Roberts goal in the second half after Brooks again beat the central defender in the air. In the first half Burbidge took the ball from a long way out and weaved his way through a wall of players only to go down in the box when scoring looked likely. The referee correctly didn't give a penalty. As always second half substitutions distrupted the flow of play but Devlin and Burbidge will be fresher for Tuesday night at Paulton.

Verdict:
The difference today was that the Chesham defence were unable to cope with the aerial threat of Brooks. Once they were demoralised by that they couldn't string anything together that looked like a potent threat. Dolphins are back on track and a good result against Paulton will set up a massive 6 pointer at Hitchin on Saturday.

Star Player:
Marvin Brooks; just recently has been missing with unmarked headers in the box but Monday's goal and the two today showed that he is back to his best form at exactly the right time.
