Chasetown 0-1 Boldmere St Michaels - Report

Unfortunately, unlike the 1-0 win at Hinckley, it was the Scholars third 0-1 reverse in four games.

The visitors started well and perhaps should have scored early on, but two chances came and went with shots wide of Curtis Pond's goal when they maybe should have struck the target.

Ben Lund started in the number 9 shirt after the departure of Joey Butlin in the week and thought he had won a penalty when he went down under a challenge from a Mikes' defender.

The first half was few and far between in terms of real goal scoring chances, with the closest Chasetown coming a Jack Langston dipping effort that Lewis Gwilliams played safe and palmed over the bar for a corner.

Three minutes before the interval, Boldmere broke the deadlock with what proved to be the only goal of the game, as Andre Brown shot beyond Pond to give the play-off chasers the lead.

With three wingers on in the second half, Chasetown had plenty of the ball in the final third without forcing Gwilliams into any serious test. Ryan Wynter hooked an effort just wide and substitute Joe Morley fired a low left foot shot less than a yard wide of the keeper's right-hand post.
