AFTER losing the first game in the double header against Perry Street Division Two top-of-the-table opponents, Charmouth were out to prove a point on Saturday.

The game may not have been the goalfest of the previous week when the Robins lost 5-3, but some great football was played.

Charmouth started the match shooting down the hill and put the pressure on from the off. The first half was a cagey affair with both teams creating chances but the spongey pitch did not help the quality of football.

It was a good first half but neither team could break the 0-0 deadlock. The second half saw Charmouth have to work up the slope but while soaking up the pressure from Drimpton they still were creating chances of their own. The breakthrough eventually came in the 60th minute when the Chamrouth keeper rushed out to collect but was caught in no-man's land. It wouldn't have normally been an issue but the ball fell to Drimpton out wide and an excellent curling lob found the back of the net to put Drimpton 1-0 up. With Charmouth attacking up the hill they pressed hard and found the equaliser when Mark Vaughan made a great run forward from defence and found himself on the edge of the box from where calmly curled the ball in the top right corner on 70 minutes. The remainder of the game saw Drimpton press but the Robins put in a great effort to see out the game. Man of the match went to Sam Dibling who had a great game in the middle of the park. This leaves Charmouth needing a single point to confirm promotion. No fixture this weekend but an away trip to Chard United Reserves awaits them on the March 12 in the cup.
