Corinthian-Casuals notched up their third win on the bounce with victory at Sheerwater on Saturday in the Combined Counties League.

Goals from Andre Coker and Gabriel Odunaike ensured Mu Maan’s side maintained their playoff push with a convincing performance at Eastwood.

Coker returned from a one match suspension, swapping shirts with Diogo Da Silve in an enforced change, in an otherwise unchanged starting eleven from last Saturday’s win over Fleet Town.

It was Casuals who forged out the best chances of the half with Clayton Afonso’s bicycle kick forcing a fine save from Drew Churchwell and Kieran Scantlebury’s effort rebound off the inside of the post following a through ball to put the striker through.

Sheerwater may have caused Sanghyun Baek a few more headaches had they found their finishing boots but their best effort whistled wide of the Casuals’ keeper’s left post.

The deadlock was broken ten minutes into the second half when Coker’s free kick from the edge of the box bamboozled Churchwell as it bounced over the hapless keeper.

Casuals looked comfortable sitting on a lead with a defence that had not conceded from open play in four matches. But a period of pressure paid off for Sheerwater as they struck home from a cross at the near post on 87 minutes.

But their joy turned to despair barely a minute later; Shea-Cascoe Rogers forced a corner from which Hakeem Adelakun picked up the pieces, drove a low ball across the six yard box to see substitute Gabriel Odunaike turn it in from close range.

It was a deserved win for the travelling Casuals who, earlier in the season, had struggled to pick up points on the road, yet are now unbeaten in a month. Key partnerships of Afonso and captain Quincy Rowe and Scott Day and Arsenii Protsyshyn are bearing playoff point fruit for Maan’s Casuals.
