Chatham Town Women’s boss Keith Boanas on competition for places in forward areas, the 1-0 win over Cambridge United and their Women’s FA Cup tie at London Bees

Manager Keith Boanas is happy with the competition for places Chatham Town Women have in forward areas - even if it leaves him with some tough calls to make!

The title-chasing FA National League Division 1 South East team extended their winning run to five games with Sunday’s 1-0 league home victory over fourth-bottom Cambridge United.

Otesha Charles came up with the match’s only goal but the 31-year-old Guyana international is one of many attacking options Boanas has at his disposal.

Chats’ boss said: “We have Otesha Charles, Amelia Woodgate and Lottie Sharp, who’s not exactly flying yet, but she’s always creating chances. She hit the post on Sunday and had one cleared off the line so the goals will come for her.

“There’s Jess King, who is a seasoned player and plenty of others. It’s a tough one.

“I’ve had to explain to the players that I’m having to do a rotation system at times. It’s the toughest job I’ve got.

“Most people will say that it’s not the worst thing to have to do - but it’s never nice, explaining to a player before a game why you haven’t picked them and they look at you as if to say ‘I hate you!’.

“The big positive is the unity we have got in the squad and the respect the players have got for each other.

“I’m really pleased about that.”

For Charles, her effort against Cambridge was her 10th goal of the campaign.

“Otesha is a frustrating player,” said Boanas. “She could probably get a hat-trick in every game!

“She’s full of energy. She makes rash decisions at times, but gets herself in the right place at the right time. You certainly cannot complain about her statistics.

“She’s not a youngster but still keeps herself fit so full credit to her.”
