The Pitching In Isthmian Football League

Highlights: Burgess Hill Town 0 Chatham Town 1

1 Apr 2023 By Ian Townsend

A goal from a goalkeeper, three red cards- a match with only one goal but no shortage of action

Chatham Town delivered something rather unique in closing the gap to the top to two points. The only goal of the match at Burgess Hill Town was scored by goalkeeper Nathan Harvey, but the Chats keeper had a mixed afternoon, as shortly after scoring he was sent off- one of three players to depart the scene early. The Chats were down to ten men as early as the twenty second minute, Dean Beckwith seeing red after twenty two minutes, but the Hillians were unable to take advantage. Harvey’s goal was wind assisted fourteen minutes from time, but he was soon forced to celebrate it in the dressing room on his own. Right at the end the Hillians went down to ten, Hayden Skerry seeing red. Eight hundred and forty seven watched the action.
