Yates double keeps play off dreams on track

Paul Mullins10 Apr 2023 - 16:12

A superb first half from Luke Yates and a superb second from keeper James Wren saw Chasetown win a play-off six-pointer.

Chasetown made a dream start with a goal after 9 minutes. A Kris Taylor corner was partially cleared to Sam Wilding who headed into the danger area and Luke Yates climbed to divert a header past Sam Arnold.

Yates almost added a second in the 15th minute with a volley that flashed six inches over the crossbar.

After 29 minutes, Yates drew a free kick on the edge of the box and took the free kick himself, smashing a daisy cutter beyond the despairing dive of Arnold.

Ben Lund was a whisker away from a third goal just before the break when he cut in from the left wing and struck the base of the post.

Khalsa started the second half more positively and Miracle Okafor dragged one effort wide and then saw a second one-on-one saved by James Wren.

Wren then made two superb fingertip saves to preserve his clean sheet from Gurjit Singh and Tesfa Robinson.

Khalsa finished the game with ten men as former Scholar Andy Parsons was sent off for two yellow cards.
