Chichester City secured a 3-1 victory over Plymouth Parkway in their recent non-league football encounter at Oaklands Park. The match, held on October 10, saw Chichester overturn an early deficit through key contributions from Ryan Davidson, Harry Bridle, and Brandon Chebby.
Plymouth Parkway started strongly, with Isaac Bello coming close to an early opening just three minutes in after a cross from Lucas Pattenden. Chichester goalkeeper Max Evans then made a crucial save to deny Plymouth’s captain Rio Garside, who shortly after set up Callum Hall for a scoring chance. Both teams created several opportunities in the opening stages, including efforts from Toby Down, Bridle, and James Sweet, but the score remained level heading into the latter part of the first half.
Plymouth broke the deadlock in the 37th minute when Garside scored with a well-executed header. However, Chichester responded quickly. Davidson hit the woodwork before tapping in the rebound to restore parity shortly before halftime.
The second half saw Chichester begin to press for the lead. Substitute Brandon Chebby replaced the injured Pattenden and made an immediate impact, scoring a spectacular goal in the 59th minute that ignited the home supporters. Despite Plymouth’s attempts to regain momentum—winning multiple corners and creating chances—Chichester’s defence held firm.
With 22 minutes remaining, Bridle extended Chichester’s lead, scoring their third goal following strong wing play from Bello. Plymouth responded with threats from Reece Thomson and other attacking moves, but Max Evans was effective in goal, preserving the advantage for the hosts.
In the closing minutes, Chichester continued to push forward, with several promising attacks including a near connection from Joe Clarke off a corner. Chebby nearly added a fourth goal during stoppage time, but his effort went wide.
Chichester’s victory marked an important result against a high-ranking Plymouth Parkway side, with their clinical finishing and timely substitutions proving decisive. The win boosts Chichester’s standing as they look to build momentum in the campaign.
