Chippenham Town: Kye Holly realises he sould have walked in Tuesday's abandoned play-off semi-final and is hoping luck will be on their side against Halesowen again tonight.

The midfielder handled Stuart Pierpoint's header on the line after just five minutes but, despite referee Martin awarding the penalty, he failed to spot the culprit and Holly knows he got away with it.

"I should have gone but I didn't mean to do it," he joked.

"It was a reaction and I only got a slight touch, although it was possibly my best save ever.

"Luckily the referee messed up and didn't know who did it."

Referee Martin did eventually call the game off after 32 minutes with standing water causing havoc for the players and Holly feels he made the right call.

"It wasn't really a game where you could get it down and pass it around, it was about playing the right ball," he said.

"It was only going to get worse and we are annoyed about it but it was probably the right decision."

The Bluebirds are due to travel back to The Grove tonight and Holly feels they can carry on from where they left off, after being 3-2 up when the game was abandoned.

"We haven't got anything to fear from them," he said.

"It showed how good we are and what we can do, which is score goals.

"They are a good side, but so are we."

Team Bath await the victors of tonight's game after they beat Bashley 4-1 at Twerton Park on Tuesday.
