Jammers make it two wins in a row at Wingate & Finchley.

The hosts made a bright start to proceedings and had the majority of the chances in the opening twenty minutes.

Casey Shann fired the first shot in anger of the afternoon, but his attempt from distance flew wide.

Jammers keeper Bradley Robinson was called into action just before the quarter-hour mark, making a smart stop to push away Anointed Chukwu’s effort.

Wingate had appeals for a penalty turned away a few minutes later before Robinson proved why he’s made such a difference since joining.

He turned away a shot from Ryan Lowe before making a sensational double save from the resulting corner.

With 21 minutes on the clock, Wingate took the lead when David Oupoh swept the ball home.

That sparked Maldon into life, and almost instantly with their first proper attack of the afternoon, they were level.

It was worth the wait.

Rhamar Garrett-Douglas took the ball on the Maldon right before cutting in and unleashing an absolute screamer past Charlie Grainger from all of 20 yards.

Four minutes later, the turnaround was complete. Evans Kouassi’s cross in found Jamie Bennett in acres of space. He took the ball down on his and smashed home to send the travelling Jammers fans wild.

A frenetic first half took another twist when Robinson brought down Loic Hernandez on the edge of the box. The referee pointed to the spot, giving Wingate the chance to level.

Remarkably, the Wingate players then started arguing over who would take the spot kick. Gianluca eventually stepped up and hammered the ball to Robinson’s right. The Jammers keeper flung himself the same way to make a wonderful save that preserved the Maldon lead.

That was the last real action of a half that Maldon ended with the lead despite not being at their best.

HALF TIME: WINGATE & FINCHLEY 1-2 MALDON & TIPTREE

The second half was a far more serene affair and it was one Maldon controlled throughout.

A Wingate freekick was floated out of play by Lowe three minutes after the restart as they looked for an equaliser.

Maldon had the ball in the net on the hour, but it was ruled out for a foul in the build up.

Both sides had half chances as the game became a little more stretched, but neither keeper was unduly troubled.

The best chance fell to Bennett at the back post with 25 minutes left, but Grainger did well to push the ball away.

With 72 minutes played, Maldon were awarded a penalty of their own when Reiss Webber was taken out in the box.

There were no arguments among the Maldon players, leaving Kouassi with the simple task of stepping and stroking the ball home.

Steve Butterworth’s side went looking for more and Jesse Olukolu fired straight at Grainger before Bennett’s shot from a narrow angle was well saved.

An audacious overhead attempt from Botti flew over the bar as Maldon eased home to three precious points.

A weekend off this week gives The Jammers a well earned break before travelling to Chatham Town on the 21st of November.
