Coming into this game one might expect the story to be Chatham's high-powered offence, and in particular how Scottish would contain it.  Indeed that was most of the story, but not all.    In a scoreless first half two significantly different teams put their style of play on display.  Chatham focused on a methodical, if not relentless ground attack, storming if not swarming the net on any given opportunity.  Scottish put emphasis on their defensive strengths, particularly their ability to make aggressive tackles against their opponents and forcefully clear the ball up field.    Unfortunately for Scottish in the first half nearly every time they would get the ball up to their awaiting strikers, they would either be outnumbered our unable to handle the forwarding pass.  This combination of realities translated into a nil-nil tie at the end of 45 minutes.    With the beginning of the second half of play, one would take notice of an increase in offensive intensity for the Scottish, in addition to an increase in rugged determination and resilience of an equal magnitude for Chatham.  Scottish was noticeably more effective in moving the ball up field and generating scoring opportunities, while Chatham in turn stayed with their plan.    Throughout the bulk of the second half there was very spirited back and forth action, with both sides trading some decent chances on net.  Just as both sides started thinking overtime, the Chatham offence suddenly slipped into high gear.  Subsequent to a quick and successful drive up field, Chatham's # 13 Darby Kalp was fed the ball while in full stride just outside the 18 yard box at centre field.  Making no mistake, he let a hard, slightly curving shot go that penetrated into the top right-hand corner of the net, just beyond the Scottish keeper's reach.  The Scottish defenders, who, up to this point worked so hard and so effectively at breaking up Chatham's offensive firepower, made what was perhaps their only real mistake of the game.  At 78 minutes Chatham was up by one and Scottish shifted into desperation mode.    With strong motivation and direction coming from the Scottish bench, the team in dark blue threw everything at the Chatham goal that they could - but in the end 12 more minutes of play was not enough.  With the closing whistle Chatham went on to celebrate the win at centre field, hoisting up their trophy in excitement and jubiliation.  JHS
