Now able to concentrate on the league after their FA Cup exploits, Chasetown signalled their intent with a 4-0 win over lowly Malvern Town on Saturday. If they win all their games in hand they can topple Leamington from their place at the top of the BGB Midlands Division.
The New Windmill Ground has been rocked by the departure of imposing striker Russell Dunkley to Southern Premier outfit Brackley Town where it is rumoured that he may have doubled his wages. Brakes supremo Jason Cadden has been looking for a replacement, and last night signed Robbie Beard (who appears to be clean shaven) in a reverse move from Brackley who it is hoped can play tonight. This may no longer mean a step up to the starting line up for 'Clunesie' (Martin Thompson) who has turned down a move to Bedworth United.
Tonight sees the Brakes take on Cinderford Town at Harbury Lane. (In case you didn't know Cinderford is a small town in the Forest of Dean: I didn't). Leamington should be able to take three points off them, but no match can be taken for granted as last year's surprise defeat by the 'Mikes' (Boldmere St. Michael) showed.
We confidently predict that we will be the only Charlton blog carrying a match report this evening.

Sorry Wyn, I'm afraid I'm going to have to be cheering on Cinderford.
I'm one of the few Addicks to not only know where the town is, but to live near it.
I moved from SE7 to the Forest of Dean a year ago and can't really get to the Valley (or the RoD!) at all often these days (my only game so far this season being the 3-1 win over Ipswich). So I've decided that I should take an interest in the fortunes of the local sides.
As I live very near to the clubhouse of Lydbrook Athletic (currently 5th in the Gloucestershire Northern Senior League Division 1), it seems rude not to.
So, come on you Foresters!
Quite amazing, sorry that your exile means you cannot get to The Valey more often.
