⚽Midland Football League Premier Division⚽
Shifnal Town 3 Walsall Wood 3
Played at The Acoustafoam Stadium
About 15 minutes into this game,my mate Pete said ' There aint going to be many goals here today '. Pete knows stuff.
Wood could have taken an early lead when a defender attempting to tap the ball out, saw it rebound of the foot of the post and that was the only telling goal action during a hectic first 35 minutes with plenty of attractive football being played by both sides with the visitors just shading it. Following that misplaced effort Wood took the lead with a well worked goal following some excellent work from their tricky number 8 passing it to their number 17 who curled into the top LH corner⚽. With seconds left to the break the hosts equalised via a bit of 'route one '⚽ . For the neutral, the 100 mph football on show was a brilliant spectacle as the two sides went at it hammer and tongue with the visitors two wide men proving a real handful.
Minutes after the break Wood regained their lead when their number 9 met a corner perfectly⚽ but Town were not to be denied as again they replied with an equaliser⚽. This enthralling encounter took another twist when the visitors again went ahead⚽ and to all intents that looked like curtains for Town but to their immense credit they again found a leveller with seconds of the match remaining⚽.
An excellent encounter between two very good sides. Wood showed why they are at the top , they really are an excellent team but to be fair most credit has to go to Town for coming back 3 times against such a team.
BTW, I wont be be asking Pete for any future forecasts.
Sometimes I get it wrong. So did the person beside me who agreed with me.
