WHYTELEAFE (Church Road)

Tuesday 23rd February 2010
Isthmian League Division One South
Whyteleafe 5-2 Mertsham

Attendance: 109
Sometimes in this fantastic hobby the hopping gods smile on you!!

After options 1,2 & 3 bit the dust due to torrential rain, a phone call to Whyteleafe confirmed this game was ON and what an absolute corker in turned out to be! Every time either side attacked it could have been a goal. As it was it was 3-2 to Whyteleafe at half time, after coming from 2-1 down.

The second half was never going to be as open but a goal on 53 minutes and 90 minutes made it comfortable for the homesters. Mertsham did have their moments but 'leafe held out for a comfortable win.

Darren Watson (5) Danny Oakins (31) Jason Goodchild (38) Chris O'Flaherty (53) and Kieron McCann (90) were the Whyteleafe scorers, whilst Wes Goggin (8) and Billy Marshall (15) responded for Mertsham.

It was great to visit Church Road this evening as not only was it a cracking game, the locals were very friendly and welcoming, it also 'exorcised' the ghost of not visiting for an FA Cup tie in 1999 with Chester City.
