Chipstead earn quarter-final with Wimbledon

Surrey Senior Cup

Third Round

Chipstead 4

Egham Town 0

A BRACE from Daniel Moody and a goal each from Scott Simpson and the on-fire Sean Rivers were enough to secure a lucrative home tie against AFC Wimbledon in the quarter-finals of the Surrey Senior Cup.

Lower league Egham Town had a plethora of opportunities, but were unable to penetrate the Chipstead defence on Tuesday night.

Egham had the brighter start with Paul Bartholomew putting in a cross from the right which, if it was not for some tight marking, would have reached Karli Andrews.

On 17 minutes the Chips started to find their feet and Moody put in a good cross that was gathered by the Egham defender Tom Martin, who was playing in goal due to injuries.

Just before the half hour, the Chips got their breakthrough when Jason Thompson's cross from the left found the head of Rivers.

On 34 minutes Egham's Mike Carey's corner skimmed the head of Wayne Wogde, but the touch was not enough to direct the ball goal bound.

In a 10 minute spell of continuous attacking, the Chips were forced to make a number of vital clearances including a header off the line, and a finger-tip save by keeper Adam Peck.

On the stroke of half-time Chipstead got their second when an Egham defender missed a important interception, allowing Moody to run through one-on-one against the keeper. Martin, clearly bemused at his defence, attempted to close Moody down, but the Chips man rounded him and struck the ball into the right corner of the net.

Egham started the second half lively, with Luke Muldoney setting up Matt Greaves for a shot, but the striker sent the ball just wide.

On 60 minutes, the referee awarded a penalty for a foul on Wayne Grizzle. Captain Scott Simpson stepped up and struck the ball confidently into the right bottom corner.

In a spell of dominance, both sets of fans were surprised the referee chose not to award two more penalties to Chips as Egham showed their frustration.

With 15 minutes to go, the stand-in Egham keeper showed great composure to catch a Grizzle cross from the left.

With two minutes left on the clock, Nicky White sent Moody away with a through ball from midfield. Beautifully exploiting the line, Moody raced forward and chipped the ball over the keeper's shoulder, to secure the win.
