Back to back wins for Carshalton Athletic

football-4Carshalton Athletic made it back-to-back wins as they took three points away from Weycourt, writes James Barrett.

Team news: Dominique Bongo and Josh Phillips were recalled to the starting line-up , while Ronald Sobowale and Ryan Healy were given chances to impress from the off.

The game was played in freezing conditions throughout but we warmed things up with just 13 minutes gone as Mickel Miller picked out Omar Folkes and the striker registered his third goal in just two full starts.

And we doubled that lead around the half-hour mark as the same pair combined again – this time it was Folkes with the assist as Miller took down his high pass, held off two opponents and beat Oneal Garnes from close range.

That goal, his fourteenth of the season, ended a drought of fourteen games for Miller and gave us a two-goal cushion at the break.

Town came out in the second-half determined to have a go and they did have an effort chalked off for offside, but otherwise Joe Tupper was only really troubled by the dropping temperature.

Sobowale was denied by goalkeeper Oneal Garnes on 80 minutes and Phillips knocked home the rebound but the linesman’s flag curtailed the celebrations.

We added to the scoreline just three minutes later however as Tommy Bradford registered his 25th goal of a prolific season and this victory lifted us back up in to the play-off positions ahead of this weekend’s fixtures.
