Chelmsford grab deserved win

Chelmsford City 1 - 0 Bath City (FA Trophy 2nd Rnd)

A fine afternoon at Chelmsford Sport & Athletics Centre saw Chelmsford City come out on top against a surprisingly lacklustre Bath City side.

The first noteworthy incident of the match proved to be controversial, with Chelmsford seeing a goal disallowed. Chelmsford finally took the lead when striker Ian Armstrong scored a placed shot on 57 minutes.

The match was remarkable for the number of fouls committed by Bath, who seemed more concerned with disrupting the flow of the game than playing it.

Attendance: 788

Not sure about a surprisingly lacklustre Bath team as we had just played 4 games in 7 days. I would have liked to have prepared a bit more for this one, but hoped a draw would bring the tie home for a real go at it. First half went to plan, but after we went down a goal we didn't have anything in the tank to chase it.
