Bath edge out opponents in close encounter

Bath City 2 - 1 Chelmsford City (Blue Square South)

Bath City won a hard fought battle against Chelmsford City on a fine spring afternoon at Twerton Park.

An error from Craig Holloway allowed midfielder Amadou Kouman to score a well timed close range finish. Striker Ian Armstrong then equalised for Chelmsford in the 27th minute with a placed shot.

Experienced winger Florin Pelecaci scored what proved to be the winner for the home side on 46 minutes with a placed shot.

Attendance: 602

Things are tightening up at the top now! This was a must-win game for us to keep our title hopes alive. We were 7 points in arrears of Chelmsford who have fallen off their early season pace, but still have the potential to win all the games remaining. Now that we've got one over them we're only 4 points away from the top and Chelmsford, Braintree and Salisbury are all equal on 77 points.


5 more games to go for the season and 2 of them are home games against Braintree and Salisbury. More must-win games, but I'm glad they are at home. This is going to be an exciting run to the finish!
