GRANT DOUBLE SINKS THE MILLERS

CRAY VALLEY (PM) 0 CHESHAM UNITED 2 - 14 SEP 2024 - ATT 272
Goals: CU - Grant 51, 76
Match Report by Steve Chapman for NLP
Second half substitute Joe Grant stole the show at the Artic stadium as Chesham took full advantage of the sending off of Millers midfielder Hassan Ibrahiym immediately after the restart of the second half. Valley had shaded the first half against their National League South opponents but there were few goal scoring opportunities and neither keeper was really tested.
The dismissal of Ibrahiym in the 46th minute changed the game and a minute later Nathan Minhas rolled the ball into the path of the unmarked Grant who coolly lifted the ball past the Oliver Pain to put the Generals ahead. The numerical advantage took its toll and in the 75th minute Grant guaranteed Chesham’s place in the draw for the next round with a long range effort that found the corner of the net past the outstretched arm of Pain.
