Dorking Wanderers vs Chatham Town - FA Cup

Dorking Wanderers edged a tight, cagey FA Cup tie against Chatham Town thanks to Harry Pinchard's 54th-minute strike, the product of relentless corner pressure rather than open-play fluency. Chatham actually shaded the underlying numbers, out-shooting their hosts 13-9 and landing six efforts on target to Dorking's three, but couldn't turn that volume into a goal. Dorking's set-piece persistence told the story - three corners in five minutes before Pinchard finally found the breakthrough - and they made it count despite surrendering both possession and territory for long spells. For Dorking, the win keeps their cup run alive and will be a confidence boost given their lofty league position, while Chatham will rue their wastefulness in front of goal as they exit the competition despite arguably being the better side on the day.
