Coggeshall Away

Monday 26th August –Bet Victor Isthmian League-North
Coggeshall Town 2 Great Wakering Rovers 0

On a scorching August bank holiday Monday, Rovers travelled to North Essex to face one of the promotion favourites Coggeshall Town.
Great Wakering Rovers were looking to make it three league wins in a row, but Coggelshall away was never going to be an easy game.
The hosts started on the front foot with lots of possession, although they found it difficult to get many shots on target with the Wakering defence standing strong.
The seedgrowers domination and persistence of the first half finally paid off with 43 minutes on the clock, a great strike by Nnamdi Nwachuku cannoned of the upright and fell to a Rovers defender however the clearance was charged down by Connor Hubble, the block then fired of Hubble and landed in the bottom corner of the goal.
Although the goal was slightly fortunate, Coggeshall would feel they deserved to take the lead into the break.
Half time Coggeshall Town 1 Great Wakering Rovers 0
The heat didn’t let up and neither did the hosts with chances coming and going, although the longer the game stayed at 1-0 Rovers would feel they were getting back into the game, but they failed to capitalise on numerous set pieces conceded by the home side and Coggeshall finally got there second when Tevan Allen nipped in between the defender and goalkeeper to tap the ball home.
Wakering held out, but the hosts would feel they deserved more goals as the game came to a close.
Not a great weekend for Wakering with two losses, however manager Stephen Butterworth will look on to Saturday at home to Dereham for a reaction from his players.
