Chessington and Hook vs Carshalton
The Pre-Season Friendly between Chessington & Hook and
Carshalton took place on Saturday the 6th of July. The game was
unusual due to the fact it was played in 30 minute quarters. This made both
teams relaxed after each quarter which soon led to some goals. Chessington had
a good attack but they were not able to finish the shots whilst Carshalton
tried their best to convert every shot they took.
The game started with a Chessington kick off and they soon
had the first few shots of the game but the first goal came from Carshalton. A
lovely header from one of their forwards away from the touchline enabled their
other forward to finish it whilst the goalkeeper hopelessly watched the ball
hit the back of the net. Later on both sides tried to add goals, and soon
enough Chessington equalised with a great goal outside the box in the second
quarter. The goal had some class which had the correct amount of height for the
ball to just skim by the goalkeeper’s fingertips and into the top corner.
The game continued equal for the rest of the 2nd
and 3rd quarter. The only interesting part of the 3rd
quarter was that the referee sent off a Chessington player for dissent, but 5
minutes later he allowed another Chessington player to come on which was very
peculiar indeed. For the rest of the quarter both teams had some shots but both
goalkeepers were adamant that they didn’t want to concede any more goals.
The 4th quarter was the true game changer, a
silly mistake from a Chessington defender soon lead on to a one on one
situation with the goalie which was well tucked away. From this moment onwards,
Carshalton pressed and pressed looking for more goals, and then came the next
one, Carshalton’s classy passing soon led to an easy finish to make the game
into 3-1. Finally came a stunner of a goal, a brilliant long ball from a
Carshalton defender to a winger which then was converted into a simple pass to
the forward which led to an easy finish. The game finished 4-1; Carshalton were
rewarded by their consistent attacking with a win against Chessington and Hook.
