Chelmsford City and Maidenhead United played out an entertaining 1-1 draw at the Melbourne Stadium this afternoon. The Clarets took the lead in the 76th minute through J. Barham, who capitalised on good attacking play to give the home side hope of a vital three points. However, Maidenhead fought back late and equalised in the 89th minute via a penalty converted by J. Umerah, snatching a point in the dying moments.
It was a frustrating afternoon for Ricky Holmes’ side, who dominated large periods but couldn’t hold on for the win. Maidenhead, pushing for the play-offs, showed great resilience to rescue the draw on the road. The result leaves Chelmsford in mid-table while the visitors stay firmly in the play-off mix as the season heads into its final stages.
