Canvey Island lost 3-0 to play-off Chasing Chatham Town on Saturday with the game realistically over by half time. Chats were dominant from the start and Ex-Newcastle striker Nile Ranger opened the scoring in the 17th minute tucking home the rebound after an initial save from Jacob Marsdon.

Within 2 minutes Chatham had doubled their lead when Matty Macarther slotted home from a Sene-Richardson cross. Just before the break the game was over when Nile Ranger scored his second and Chathams third.

With the game won the second half was a bit of a non event with Chatham still on top but could not add to the score.

On Tuesday Chatham come to the Steves Taxis Stadium for the return fixture,
