Camberley 1 Hanworth Villa 1 unbelievable score line as we really should have won at a canter I lost count of the chances we squandered including a penalty but that is what makes this such a great game, at the death Hanworth could have stolen it from a corner, now that would have been a sickener.

A entertaining match played in a good spirit saw the teams walk away with a 1-1 draw, but Hanworth Villa will be the happier with the 1 point than us. It was a game of offside calls and after 12 mins we were caught by a quick break down our right and their winger, who was their best player, beat our defensive line with a well timed run and slotted home past the returning Hamish (welcome back) in goal. They continued to have the better of play for the next 15 mins but gradually we found some rhythym and we were the better team for the last 15 mins up to half time. We made 3 or 4 clear-cut chances, hit the post and had a penalty awarded but simply didn't take them, eventually we deservedly levelled the score after 41 mins when Charlie Oakley beat their high line and the keeper to make it 1-1.
After the break we were the stronger team throughout, but as with the first half, we squandered the many chances that came our way (at least 5 or 6) and in the end we got what we deserved, which was 1 point. We have to be more clinical after doing all the hard work to create the chances.
Overall it's disappointing to only get the draw but I have to say the team performance for 3/4 of the match was really very good and if we take that level into the next game we won't go far wrong as long as we take the chances
