Edgware extracted revenge on Arlesey Town, just two weeks after suffering a 1-4 thumping on the same ground, by knocking the Ryman 1 North side out of the 4th round of the Isthmian League cup this evening.
Edgware took the lead on 6 minutes from an unusual source, goal keeper Darren Bonfield’s huge goal kick was chased down by Kevin Chakaodza, however, the striker’s touch was not needed as the ball bounced up and over the head of Luke Howard in the home goal.
The Wares took advantage of the wind at their backs in the first period, playing some excellent fast paced football, and went further ahead on 14 minutes when Gavin Hart’s cross from the left found Johnny Moore who finished with aplomb inside the area.
The home side were somewhat stunned as they found themselves 3-0 down on 36 minutes; Chakaodza’s low cross from the right was latched on to by Moore who finished in similar fashion to complete his brace.
Arlesey rallied in the second half and on 66 minutes Rob Edwards pulled one back for the hosts, his angled shot from the right beating Bonfield at the far post.
Edgware had to withstand some home pressure, but any hope of a comeback were dashed when on 73 minutes Stuart Blackburne was felled in the area, and sent the resulting spot kick past Howard to seal a satisfying win and a safe passage into the last eight of the Isthmian League Cup.
EDGWARE: Bonfield,Brady, Hart, Smith, Ingham, Ferneé, Marks, Moore, Chakaodza(Rispoli), Wallace, Blackburne(Tomkins).
