Cove FC 2 Eversley & California 1

In their first away fixture of the league season, the Boars suffered their first defeat of the campaign against Cove.

Eversley fell victim to a well worked counter attack which saw Cove break the deadlock in the

18th minute.

Eversleymi­ssed a big chance to level the game when Joe Pantony’s strike cannoned off the post, but the Boars made up for it just moments afterwith an equaliser.

Cam Edwin opened his account for the season as he got on the end of Harry Stephenson’s low cross.

After a promsiing spell which saw chances missed by Eversley, theywere caught out by a long ball as Cove retook the lead in the

64th minute.

And that goal proved to be decisive as the Boars couldn’t penetrate the Cove defence for a second time as they slipped to defeat.
