11/9/2007 DARWEN 0 CHADDERTON 1

Darwen lost their 100% home league record tonight. With only a disputed penalty separating the sides, the result enabled Chadderton to maintain their 100% start to the season.

The away side came close to opening the scoring on twelve minutes, when a corner reached Davies on the edge of the area. His attempt went close by the post. Fifteen minutes later, a hopeful Chadderton clearance was latched onto by Ashton. He hoisted a pass over Joe Darwin to Carl Taylor, whose shot was blocked near the line by Lee Stott.

Stott was involved in Darwen’s best move of the half. He gathered a free kick from the centre circle, then raced to the edge of the Chadderton area, then hit a volley which just cleared the bar.

Three minutes later, Chadderton were awarded a penalty by referee Dalal for pushing, and Carl Taylor made no mistake from the spot.

Six minutes later, Darwen came close to levelling the score as Lee Stott beat the offside trap and ran towards goal. As Swanson came out to narrow the angle, he passed to Stuart Telfer, but Telfer mistimed the shot, enabling the Chadderton keeper to clear. Just before the break, Matt Anderton got his head to a cross, but not with sufficient power to beat Swanson.

Half Time: Darwen 0 Chadderton 1

Fifteen minutes into the second half, a strong Neil Almond shot deflected off a Chadderton boot for a corner. Ten minutes later, Matt Anderton put a bullet header from a corner just wide. Swanson had to be alert a few minutes later to push a Stuart Telfer effort to safety.

Just before the final whistle, Chadderton had the ball in the net again, but the goal was ruled offside.
