OLDLAND RUN ENDED BY HIGH FLYING ROBINS

With Ashley Bryan unavailable through work, youth keeper Ross Jones was called in for a rare appearance between the sticks. Elsewhere, there was just one change as Tom Welling came straight into midfield after serving his two game suspension, deputising for Matt Curnock.

The Robins outclassed the O’s from start to finish and took the lead on ten minutes when Butcher’s shot deflected off an Oldland defender and into the net. There was no fortune with Butcher’s second however, a sweet strike from the edge of the box that flew in.

Oldland fought back late on, forcing some goalmouth scrambles but the Robins flew back to Chard fully deserving of their victory that lifts them to fifth spot in the table.
