REPORT: CAMBERLEY TOWN 0 GUILDFORD CITY 0

Following their handsome victory over Fleet last weekend, the Guildford side went into this match confident of another positive result. This though was a different sort of match, and both teams took a point in what was a scrappy encounter at Krooner Park.  Both defences dominated and truthfully a point apiece was a fair reflection of the game, although Guildford certainly edged the first period with more possession and attempts on goal.

In the opening minutes target man striker Omar Folkes spun in the box but saw his effort blocked. Minutes later the same player took a high cross on his chest and volleyed over the crossbar. There was a moment of anxiety, in an otherwise disciplined City defence, when a corner bounced right through the six-yard box without a touch. On the half hour from a free kick Antonio Simeone headed back across goal, where Omar Folkes headed powerfully goalward but straight into the keeper arms. A minute later from a deep corner Yannick Monga volleyed inches over the bar in what might have been City’s best goalscoring opportunity. Late in the half Guildford upped their game and in stoppage time a fierce effort from Nathaniel Mensah was saved well by the home keeper.
