Chatham Town beat Brentwood Town 3-0 last weekend and now face away games at Aveley and Dulwich Hamlet in the Isthmian Premier Division

Chatham Town manager Kevin Hake wants his side to maintain their standards as they prepare for two tough away trips.

The Chats picked up three points last Saturday with an impressive 3-0 win over Brentwood Town.

Kola Salami scored twice, either side of half-time, while Jack Lyons was also on target as the Chats secured an Isthmian Premier Division victory at the Bauvill Stadium.

The result also brought a second successive clean sheet after last Tuesday’s Kent Senior Cup win over Gillingham, giving Chats a platform to build on ahead of Saturday’s trip to Aveley and Tuesday night’s visit to Dulwich Hamlet.

Hake was pleased with the energy and intensity his side showed against Brentwood.

“I was really pleased with the performance on Saturday,” he said.

“I thought the energy levels were excellent from the first whistle and we played with a real intensity about us, both with and without the ball.

“To follow that up with another clean sheet was equally important as we have now done this back-to-back, which is something we have been working hard on as a group.”

Salami, 23, joined Chatham from Dover Athletic at the end of September and has already made a positive impression, with his latest double further underlining his impact.

“It was great to see Kola on the scoresheet again,” said Hake.

“He has come into the group and made a really positive impact, and we believe there is still plenty more to come from him.

“Jack Lyons also continues to do what Jack does. He has that bit of magic and quality in the final third and once again made a real contribution for us.”

Chatham now face a demanding week on the road, with Hake keen to see his players carry their recent performances into both fixtures.

Last weekend’s win left them on the
