Kevin Watson says Chatham head for Suffolk this weekend in confident mood.

They travel to Ryman League Division 1 North leaders Leiston on the back of three successive wins, after Lloyd Blackman’s second-half strike proved the difference against Great wakering Rovers at Maidstone Road on Tuesday night.

Player-boss Watson said: "We went to Needham Market earlier in the season and beat them when they were top. We are underdogs on paper again, but sometimes that can be a good thing.

"Leiston are one of the best teams in the league, and players want to play against good sides to test their own ability."

Blackman’s goal on the hour was his second in two games, ending a lean spell for the experienced striker, but misses the next two games because of suspension.

Skipper Brad Potter started Tuesday's game, despite suffering a head wound in the 5-2 win against Ware on Saturday, and youngster Jamie Lawrence played for an hour on his return to the side after illness.
