Southall extended their
unbeaten run to six matches when they drew 1-1 at home to
Chessington United.
The visitors went ahead in the 30th minute and in a scrappy game
kept their lead until the second minute of time added on for
injury at the end of the match. Southall were awarded a penalty
which O'Sullivan hit straight at the keeper. Luckily for Southall
O'Sullivan was the first to react to the rebound to score a
deserved equaliser.

minutes before half time gave Southall a comfortable 4-0 lead at
the interval.

more through Steve Macenzie in the 52nd minute.
