HALF-TIME: Chelmsford 1 Crawley 0

9:01pm Monday 18th January 2010 in Sport

Crawley's hopes of an FA Trophy run were in the balance as they found themselves trailing against Blue Square south promotion chasers Chelmsford at Melbourne Park tonight.

The deadlock in a scrappy first half was broken on 42 minutes when Anthony Cook beat Simon Rayner from close range after Rob Edmans had set up the chance with a low cross from the left.

Cook and Edmans had both gone close earlier in the half with Reds offering little in response apart from a 20 yard drive by midfielder Barry Cogan which fizzed just past the right-hand post in the 16th minute.
