The visitors made a great start taking an 8th minute lead. Lee Butler curled in a corner which Rhys Thompson sent goalwards - a Romulus defender could only clear as far as James Dance who acrobatically scored with an overhead kick for his first goal for the club.

Romulus tested Chase keeper John Bateman with a 25 yard free kick but Mark Branch's kick was easily gathered.

The Roms levelled 4 minutes into the second half when another former Scholar Mitch McDonald turned inside the penalty area and prodded home.

A superb crossfield ball from Thompson sent Paul Sullivan clear and he jinxed past Todd Evans who clipped the striker.

After a string of missed penalties throughout the team over pre-season and early season, James Dance took responsibility from twelve yards and sent Chris Gemmell the wrong way to restore the visitors lead.

Substitute Lewis Rankin was a whisker away from scoring his first Chasetown goal with a long range effort which beat Gemmell but came back off the inside of the post.

Nathan Waite had a great chance to seal the three points when he took on centre back Dominic McGarr but the Roms defender recovered well to thwart the danger.

Dance came close to a hat trick with a long range effort that was charged down for a corner.
