Grant strikes as Addicks draw with Robins

Charlton continued their unbeaten start at home this season as they shared a 1-1 draw with Bristol City at The Valley on Saturday.

Karlan Grant's early strike put the Addicks in front, but a Scott Twine penalty before the break ensured it would be a share of the spoils in SE7.

The home side opened the scoring on eight minutes with a wonderfully-taken goal by Grant. Tyreece Campbell drove forward and fed the ball into Grant inside the box, who controlled it brilliantly before firing it beyond Sam Tickle with an excellent left-footed finish.

Indeed, it was a deserved goal with Nathan Jones’ men dominant in the first 15 minutes.

The visitors had their first effort on goal midway through the first half, as Brian De Keersmaecker’s cross found Dom Ballard free inside the Addicks’ penalty area, but he could only head the ball over the bar.

The Robins were awarded a penalty after Conor Coventry was adjudged to have tripped Ballard inside the box. Twine stepped up and scored from the spot to bring the visitors level.

Miles Leaburn set up an excellent chance for Campbell, as Charlton looked to restore their lead. The striker did well to beat Rob Atkinson and get a cross into the box, but the ball was turned behind by Campbell.

Arthur Okonkwo was called into action just before half-time to prevent Twine from getting his second of the game and the two sides went into half-time level.

The gaffer made a double change early into the second half, as Kayne Ramsay and Ivan Mesík entered the fray in place of Micah Mbick and Josh Edwards. The changes meant there was a switch in shape for the Addicks, as they moved into a back three with wingbacks.

Charlton had a golden opportunity to get themselves back in front after Tickle spilled Leaburn’s cross into the path of Campbell, but the Robins goalkeeper reacted quickly to deny his shot, before he blazed the follow-up effort over the bar.

Charlie Kelman and Harvey Knibbs were introduced for the final stages of the game, as Leaburn and Grant were both replaced. Millenic Alli was the final change, coming on for Campbell.

The Addicks were awarded a free kick on the stroke of the 90, which was struck well by, only to be kept out by a super stop from Tickle.

Charlton weren't able to find a winner, as the points were shared in SE7. Nathan Jones' side will be back in action on Tuesday as they travel to Turf Moor to face Burnley (7.45pm BST).

Donaldson brace sends Bexhill to midweek victory

By Geoff Martin

A pair of goals from Polegrove debutante Luke Donaldson saw Bexhill secure a hard-fought victory over Horsham YM on Tuesday night.

The Pirates were facing the challenge of two games on the bounce having played Newhaven away on Sunday afternoon as part of the Sussex Ground Hop - a match which saw the Pirates run out four one winners.

So confidence and expectation was high Tuesday evening as they lined up to take on Horsham YM, a side who have struggled with problems on and off the pitch this term. But one thing is for sure in the current Southern Combination League - there is no such thing as an easy game.

Bexhill fans have waited a while to see Luke Donaldson on home soil since his close-season signing as he fell foul of the injury hex that has dogged the Pirates over the past couple of months. The impressive Ant Thomas was also making his home debut at left back.

The opening exchanges were tentative with both teams sizing each other up, but on twelve minutes Bexhill opened their account. Jack Shonk threaded a ball out to Jack Samways and he squared to set up Donaldson who make no mistake.

A couple of minutes later it was Shonk himself sizing up an opportunity but driving his shot wide. Bexhill went in at the break with that one nil advantage but as they returned after the interval it was Horsham YM who immediately shook the game up.

Barely a minute in they were able to carve their way through the home defence and striker Theo Aiguobasimwin smashed away a sharp finish. It was a reminder to Bexhill that you can take nothing for granted in this league and for a brief spell Horsham enjoyed their best phase of the game.

The introduction of Theo Coombs from the bench was decisive in changing the dynamics of the contest and within moments he had helped set up a chance for Charlie Playford that rose just over the bar.

It felt like a second goal was coming and on 65 minutes Shonk broke clear and, one on one with the keeper, he squared the ball only to see the covering defender hack it away from danger.

Two minutes later, the goal came and it was a stunner. Playford hoisted an exquisite pass over the defence and into Donaldson who brought the ball down with a deft touch and, with his back to goal, in almost one movement managed to lift the ball over the Horsham YM keeper. It was a strike that will be long talked about at the Polegrove.

Bexhill kept the foot on the gas for the rest of the match in pursuit of a third that would enable them to relax a bit but it didn’t come and in the end they saw out the victory that lifts them to eighth in the table, well placed in the chasing pack at the top of the table.
