COWHC Men's 1s vs Chichester Men's 2s - 10th Feb 2018
We won 6 - 0 Report by Benji
CROWS boss Jon Foley said midfielder O'Brien "deserves all the credit" for his side's 6-0 win over Chichester at the weekend.
The County player took his tally to 37 for the season with a series of deadly shots that tested the fencing at the Croydon High. Fullerton-Batten and Barret conducted the midfield seeing them set up the sides first three goals.
Davies, who saw his side win their 13th home game of the season said: “Henthorne fought hard and he is so important to us. We played quite similar to the way we played in our loss against Havant last week, but the difference here was we took some of our chances."

The flying frenchman followed with a back post tap in later in the game from a curling ball by FB across the danger zone.
CROWS played with five at the back and used Collards pace on the break to generate copious opportunities including a penalty flick which the Irishman pushed wide.

Davies made only nine touches in the opposition half and made little impact, but his involvement made it clear that his manager Foley has no intention of ostracising him.
Roche said afterwards: "He got on the pitch and worked hard. He showed he had a good fitness. Now it is important to look forward and put this behind us, with the next games coming up."
