“Olaf Koszela opens the scoring for Chippenham Town from an early corner routine, catching Havant cold.”
“Ryan Seager levels for Havant & Waterlooville right before half-time, rewarding their late first-half pressure.”
“Felix Miles seals the win for Chippenham deep into stoppage time, killing off any hope of a Havant rescue act.”
PivotalChippenham Town struck first through Olaf Koszela's early goal but were pegged back by Ryan Seager just before the break, setting up a tense second half. Despite Havant enjoying more possession and doubling Chippenham's corner count, it was the visitors who found the crucial moments, retaking the lead early in the second half before Felix Miles wrapped things up in the dying seconds. The result is a significant cup shock given Havant's higher league standing and better recent form, while Chippenham's clinical edge in front of goal - scoring three from limited genuine chances - proved the difference. For Havant, this is a damaging exit that will sting given their home advantage and territorial dominance, while Chippenham march on with a confidence-boosting away win against a bigger name.
