Chopbacks win despite not at best

In what was expected to be the toughest test of the season so far, the Chopbacks were on the road for their East Sussex Football League Division 1 clash with Rye Town.

For the second weekend in a row the club were missing some key players this weekend which yet again gave others within the squad their chance to make their mark.

A back post finish from JJ Beaumont gave the Chopbacks a slender 1-0 lead going in at half time.

Changes were made at half time due to injuries on what was proving to be a less than ideal pitch surface to play on.

A Connor Easton poachers goal and a second goal from JJ Beaumont increased the Chopbacks advantage in the second half.

Rye Town managed to pull one back late on but the final score finished 3-1 with the Chopbacks now looking ahead to next weekends Cup Match with Premier Division side Wadhurst United.
