Hide AdPotton were attacking but their efforts came to nothing to leave the teams 0-0 at half time.
It wasn’t until the 54th minute that Stanley Channell shot from just outside the penalty area and gave Cheneck’s the lead.
Cheneck’s went close on a couple of occasions before the referee was looking at his watch with the match going into added time.
Potton were awarded a free kick with all the Potton players, apart from the keeper, well into Chenecks half but the ball was cleared to Channell on the half way line and he had a clear run to goal to secure the win for Chenecks, finishing 2-0.
