⚽Midland Football League Premier Div⚽
Dudley Town 2 Uttoxeter Town 1
Played at Sporting Khalsa
For the greater part of this game,it was difficult to tell which side were the high-flyers as Dudley huffed,puffed and generally struggled against a seemingly well organised side. Indeed, as the half progressed,it was the visitors, belying their lowly league position, who looked the more likeley to score,whereas Dudley were glad to hear the whistle for half-time.
Uttoxeter continued where they left off and opened their account 10 minutes after the break(I missed the goal as I was talking )⚽. It was no more than they deserved after looking the better side and looking increasingly comfortable with anything Dudley could throw at them including a fantastic save from a point-blank shot.
Whether the visitors tired or the hosts made some inspired substitutions,the game changed dramatically in the last 10 - 15 minutes with Dudley upping the ante and getting their reward with 2 late goals, the first one being a right thunderbastard⚽⚽.
This was a good game ; Uttoxeter will be disappointed at losing after looking so comfortable but fair play to Dudley who kept going to the very end.
