Kevin Hake was satisfied as Chatham came away with a point on Saturday from their entertaining goalless draw at Sittingbourne in Isthmian South East.

Chats twice hit the woodwork at Woodstock - once in the first period from skipper Jack Evans and once when midfielder Fabio Saraiva headed against the post - while player-assistant manager Danny Kedwell also forced a fine late save from home goalkeeper Matt Cafer.

But Nick Davis’ Brickies had their chances, too, and chairman-manager Hake was content to leave with a share of the spoils from the Kent derby. “It’s always difficult to come away to a local rival - they have played in this league for God knows how long - they’re seasoned at this level,” Hake said. “Nick’s a great manager, he’s always going to have a good team. “To come away with a 0-0 - we have got to look on reflection that it’s a clean sheet, we remain unbeaten for four in the league so we are going on a bit of a run - so I’m pleased with that.” An even first half also saw in-form right-sided player Donvieve Jones have a goal disallowed for Sittingbourne during a match which had virtually everything but a goal, with Chatham goalkeeper Ben Bridle-Card kept busy throughout as well as opposite number Cafer.

Hake reflected: “It was a typical derby really, wasn’t it? End-to-end stuff. “As 0-0s go, it was pretty entertaining for everyone so I’m sure the locals will go away happy.
