Chairman hails positive approach after Chatteris Town resume relegation battle with a win
CHAIRMAN Shaun Hayden hailed the positive atmosphere at West Street after relegation-threatened Chatteris Town began 2013 with a win.
The Lilies moved off the bottom of the Kershaw Premier League with a 2-1 victory over mid-table Lakenheath on Saturday.
Two goals from midfield star Jack Saunders and an inspired goalkeeping performance from Max Flintoff secured the three points - despite striker Richie Allen being sent off in the second half for lashing out at an opponent.
Hayden said: “It was great to see a win, especially after the draw with Fulbourn Institute in the previous game where we played well enough to win.
“We’ve got a good team together now which I believe will see us through this season. The mood is more positive and not paying subs has definitely helped that.”
