HORSHAM 3
CHESHUNT 1
stored the two-goal cushion within seconds and was then presented with the perfect opportunity to complete his hat-trick when Jack Thomas was penalised for an apparent handball but Ravan Constable saved his spot-kick.
Instead of being 3-1 down, Cheshunt were still in the game and found a new lease of life.
A tricky run by Jeremy Bisau created a chance for Alex Gibson-Ham-A MATCH that Horsham seemed to have comfortably in their grasp at 2-0 with an hour played was transformed into complete chaos for a 10-minute spell until order was restored and the home side ran out winners.
Chris Dickson gave the Hornets a deserved lead just after the half-hour, converting a penalty won by the outstanding Reece Meekums, to underline the superiority the home side displayed throughout the first period.
When Dickson notched a second within five minutes of the restart, the game seemed as good as done, but a fine goal by Vas Vasiliou gave the Ambers hope.
Dickson almost remond and home keeper Lewis Carey was booked for bringing down Sam Granville well outside his box as the Hornets threatened to lose both their lead and their heads.
However, order was restored when Meekums again beat his man and crossed low for Dickson to notch his third from close range.
