Eversley continued their excellent recent form with a hard fought victory over Cobham F C. Starting with an unchanged team for the first time this season, another slow start saw the visitors dominate the early proceedings with Richard Shelley turning over a fierce drive from the dangerous Lawrence and then a one on one from the same Cobham striker. If the first quarter of the game belonged to Cobham then the second definitely belonged to Eversley as they started to get a foothold in the game. Baker latched in to a Bradley Cann through ball and saw his shot strike the post. Matt Stamp was getting much joy down the left wing and two occasions saw balls slotted into the 6 yard box fail to be dispatched goal bound, then Stamp himself should have scored from Day’s cross from the opposite flank. Half time 0-0.
From the start of the second half it was all the home side in terms of possession and with the wind in their backs went in search of the three points. Cobham still looked dangerous on the break and it seemed could easily snatch the opener. The introduction of Sean Hayes, his first game since a pre-season injury, gave the Boars added energy and straight away made his impact, a 25 yard left foot curler into the top corner with almost his first touch!
5 minutes later it was 2, that man Baker again as he was given too much time to pick his spot from the edge of the box.
Eversley comfortably saw the game out and now go in to the crunch visit to fellow promotion hopefully and neighbours Hartley Wintney on the 27th December (kick off 11.30) with confidence high.
Team: Shelley, Jeffrey, Morgan, Cooper, Reeves (capt), Clarke (Hayes), Day, Kleboe, Stamp (Stevens), Cann
