Cup run comes to an end

Cup run comes to an end

Paul Mullins26 Nov 2019 - 22:46

Three goals late in the second half saw Walsall Wood edge out Chasetown by 2 goals to 1.

The firsts half wasn't a classic but there were goal scoring chances at either end. First, Wood saw an effort cleared off the line and then keeper Lloyd Ransome was forced into a finger tip save to deny Ben Easthope just before half time.

It was a former Scholar that broke the deadlock for the visitors. A cross from the right was met by Harry Harris who sent the ball back across goal beyond Curtis Pond and into the net.

Wood then added a second with a fine attacking move with quick passes, before a ball to the near post was turned home by Joey Butlin.

Chasetown had their chances during the second half with several shots just off target - Lucas Burnett was just over with a header, Jack Langston was just wide and George Cater had a shot well saved by Ransome.

It was too little too late when Cater reduced the deficit in the 89th minute with a shot from outside the box.

A final free kick pumped into the box by Curtis Pond was scrambled clear by the visitors who celebrated when the final whistle went.
