Chertsey Town secured a late comeback to draw 2-2 with Chippenham Town in a competitive match held in Surrey on Saturday. After falling behind by two goals in the first half, Chertsey rallied in the second period to claim a share of the points.
Chippenham Town opened the scoring through Felix Miles, who capitalized on a well-delivered cross from Piotr Petrynski. Miles found space near the edge of the six-yard box and finished with ease to put the visitors ahead. Despite this early advantage, Chertsey struggled to respond, allowing Chippenham to extend their lead shortly after the break. Defensive confusion inside Chertsey’s penalty area presented Nana Owosu with an opportunity, and he scored by firing a low shot through the legs of Chertsey goalkeeper Eoin Casey.
Facing a two-goal deficit, Chertsey mounted a spirited comeback. Casey began the revival by working in tandem with centre-back Lachie Byrd to pull a goal back. The momentum shifted as Bradley Wilson seized a timely pass and calmly finished past Chippenham’s goalkeeper Jack Witchard to equalize the match.
The closing stages saw increased tension and disciplinary incidents. Chertsey’s Conor Lee was shown a second yellow card for an elbow, reducing his team to ten men. Meanwhile, Chippenham goalkeeper Witchard was sent off after colliding with Joe Grant following a rushed clearance outside his penalty area, leaving both teams to finish with ten players.
The match ended in a 2-2 draw, with Chertsey Town demonstrating resilience to recover from a challenging position and Chippenham Town unable to maintain their early dominance.
