Parkway made a double substitution at half time with Crago and Williams replacing Billington and Down respectively in a bid to claw their way back into the game.

Again they started the half brightly forcing a couple of early corners which were easily defended but it was the hosts who increased their lead and probably sealed the game on 57 minutes.

Parkway conceded possession midway in their own half with a sloppy pass which was intercepted by Braney who slid in the strong running Ollyide who powered home a shot across Borthwick into the far corner.

Parkway did well to respond and almost pulled a goal back after a period of pressure saw a shot cleared off the line. However on the hour Chesham went further ahead. with almost a carbon copy of the 3rd goal.

Parkway again conceded possession too easily in their own half allowing German to go clear against a retreating defence and bend his shot into the bottom corner from around 15 yards for his 2nd goal of the game. German was replaced by Zak Joseph shortly after with Chesham continuing to control the pace of the game not allowing Parkway time on the ball with their high pressing with Parkway being restricted to playing long balls from the back, too often overhit and easily defended.

The pace of the game began to drop with Chesham looking to retain possession and Parkway continuing to compete well but unable to gain any meaningful possession or offer any real threat.

On 67 minutes Joseph fired well over from 30 yards as the hosts continued to dominate with a rare Parkway break on 70 minutes seeing a Crago shot blocked. Jeanmal Prosper then made a strong run forward from deep with Parkway doing well to defend his cross as they continued to come under pressure.

On 76 minutes Chesham made a double substitution with Omar Rowe and Jordan Edwards replacing Jordan Gibbons and Steve Brown respectively. With Chesham remaining in control and looking to slow the pace of the game, this allowed Parkway to push forward a bit more and on 80 minutes a strong run down the right by King saw his cross find Tom Bath whose shot was blocked for a corner with Austen Booth’s near post header going narrowly wide. However Chesham almost increased their lead further on 82 minutes after a mistake at the back allowed Ollyide to go clear one on one with Borthwick who pulled off an excellent save to deny the powerful striker.

The final few minutes of normal time plus the 3 added minutes saw a couple of Parkway attacks come to nothing as the hosts comfortably saw out the game with the final action seeing Rowe curl a shot just over.

Despite starting both halves well and working hard throughout, Parkway were second best for much of the game and never really came to terms with a strong, well organised Chesham who dominated midfield, pounced on Parkway mistakes, defended strongly and finished clinically to run out deserved winners.

Parkway were not at their best nor allowed to be and can have no real complaints about the outcome. They remain in 11th place, relatively safe in mid table, and now have a short recovery period before travelling to Devon neighbours Tiverton Town on Friday evening.

Tiverton are in 12th place 5 points behind Parkway having played the same number of games and will come off the back of a 3-2 penalty shoot against Tavistock tonight in the semi final of the Devon St Lukes Challenge Bowl.
