Casuals edged a seven-goal thriller to secure their third straight league victory for the first time this season.

Early substitute Ali Wiltshire was the hero of the night with two goals as the home side came from behind to take the spoils on a incredibly wet night in Tolworth.

The match was action packed throughout its entirety with Chatham Town taking the lead after just 20 seconds.

A long range effort skimmed of the surface making it difficult for Luke Naughton to keep hold of, and the ball was parried out invitingly for Jack Pallen to give Chatham an early lead.

The slippery conditions were making it hard for either side to take control but an injury to Darren Chalke meant Jamal Carr was required to fill in at right back with Danny Green pushing to the wing and Wiltshire being brought on up front.

This combination worked nearly instantly as good work between Carr and Green down the right resulted in the newly converted winger floating in a curling cross which was met by the head of Wiltshire with a leaping header which went crashing in off the underside of the bar after 21 minutes.

The first half ended in equally dramatic fashion as it started,in the 45th minute the Chatham defence went to sleep as Glenn Boosey was put clear on goal with the on rushing Dean Ruddy- with the Casual's striker, calm as you like, chipping the ball ball over the proceeding keeper clinically to give Casual's a 2-1 lead.

There was even time left for Chatham to hit the post as a free kick from just outside the area was delivered into the box and missed by everyone- yet fortunately for Luke Naughton, bounced off the woodwork into the grateful arms of the Casual's number 1.

The visitors started the half strongly with a dangerous ball whipped across goal and a free kick just going wide. But as the rain persisted in the second half it seemed to invite even more long range efforts- yet no effort was as long as Chatham's centre half John Wilfort, who galloped forward with the ball and from 30-yards, let loose with an absolute thunderbolt which curled into the side of the net which any keeper in the world would have trouble stopping.

However, Casuals were only to be pegged back for less than two minutes- as at the other end, a Glenn Boosey strike was too hot for Dean Ruddy to handle and Abdou Bojang who had been playing down the left wing, didn't waste his chance to restore the host's lead.

The night was still young however- a brilliant cross from Wilfort just inside the Casual's half from the right, was met by the head of Rob Denness on 74 minutes, and his powerful header jumped of the wet turf to tie the game at 3 a piece.

Casual's were not to be restrained though, 3-minutes from time, Ali Wiltshire took on and beat his man on the left of the Chatham area and drilled a shot which was saved by the keeper only for the ball to be worked back to the impressive Nsuboyce who's shot was blocked again, but only as far as Wiltshire who rifled Casuals into the lead for the third time with a low crisp drive from 6-yards- which this time was enough to claim three well deserved points.
