Injury-hit Chatham Town will look to get back to winning ways when they welcome Leatherhead to the Bauvill Stadium on Tuesday night.

The Chats drew 1-1 at home to Burgess Hill Town on Saturday, having suffered successive away defeats against Enfield Town and Cheshunt before that game.

Leatherhead sit just a point and three places below them in the table, setting up an important midweek clash.

Manager Kevin Hake said: “The quick turnaround is a good thing because it gives us another opportunity straight away.

“Tuesday nights under the lights are always special here and hopefully we can get a strong crowd behind us and put a good performance in.”

Ben Allen’s long-range effort put Chatham ahead against Burgess Hill late in the first half, but the visitors levelled shortly after the restart.

Hake said: “Saturday’s draw against Burgess Hill was probably a fair reflection of the game and, when you consider the number of players we currently have unavailable, it was another important point on the board.

“We always want to win at home, but sometimes you have to recognise the circumstances and keep moving forward.”

The Chats are still experiencing injury problems, but Hake sees the situation as an opportunity for others to impress.

Winger Sam Adeyeye was signed ahead of the weekend and was an unused substitute against Burgess Hill.

Hake said: “The players are working hard and everyone who is currently out injured is doing everything they can to get back as quickly as possible.

“We have been fortunate with availability over the years, so we are not going to complain about it now. It creates opportunities for others and we have to keep showing resilience as a group.”

Ahead of Saturday’s fixture, Chatham took time to honour the service and sacrifice of the Armed Forces as part of their annual Remembrance Service.

The Chats boss added: “It was a very important day for the football club with our annual Remembrance Service.

“I thought everyone connected with the club observed the occasion brilliantly and it was particularly special to welcome current members of the Armed Forces and veterans as our guests.

“It is something we are extremely proud to hold each year and it means a great deal to the club and the wider community.”
