Sean Rivers threatened Chatham early on with a thunderous free kick from 30 yards which Dean Ruddy just managed to flick over his goal. James Wastell needed to be alert diving smartly to his left to prevent a goal from a powerful headed effort from Richard Avery. Ruddy was brought into the action again smartly tipping over Scott Simpson''s near post flick on. Brendon Cass missed a golden opportunity for the visitors firing over from six yards out when the ball suddenly dropped to him. Rivers won the game for Chip''s with a smartly taken headed effort from Antony Morrisons cross which followed a fine build up between Ray Freeman, Morrison and Liam Grier right on the hour mark. Grier also fired just wide with a long range effort as Chip''s tried to kill the game off. Chatham fought back searching for an equaliser and Wastell had to be at his best saving from Rob Denness and then coming out of goal smartly to block another effort. Chip''s maintained some good possession in the closing ten minutes to earn a well deserved result against their tenth placed visitors. Referee Mr S J D Daly
