Wonka Wanders Off as Chawton Lose "Friendly".

Chawton Athletic old boy, Matt "Wonka" Stevens, has left the club after three and a half years and raised a few eyebrows in the process.

Stevens, who signed for the Yellows in their debut 2008/09 season, has now transferred to arch rivals Alton Wanderers - a team he helped spank in the Eric Holbrook Cup first round match earlier this season.  As one of the few players who remained from the Farnham League era, he was part of the side that were Runwick Cup runners-up in 2010.







The first match after his departure was a friendly against a random Alton Town XI at Eggars School.  The match was one that Chawton ultimately lost 4-5 from a strong winning position, thanks to the effort of a far from neutral referee organised by the opposition.

A brace from Ben Hodkin and a solo effort from Paul Nicholson was bettered by David Nicholson - who's speculative effort looked to have been saved by the keeper but was then spilled into the net.
