Bilbrook stage a great fightback to win.

 19/09/2026

          ⚽West Midlands Regional League⚽

Bilbrook 3  Tipton Town 2

                                                                                                       Played at Pendeford Lane Stadium

 Tipton were quick out of the blocks and took the lead in the 9th minute⚽ and from then on Bilbrook were marginally the better side,  having a goal denied for off-side but nothing else to show for their endeavours, which were considerable. Approaching the break they were one on one with the Tipton keeper who somehow won the battle, hoofed the ball down the field and number 9 was on the spot to tap home for a second⚽.

Following the break,the hosts continued in the same vein,plenty of running,effort and commitment with no end result ; that is,until the 75th minute when from a goalmouth scramble,they scored⚽ and  5 minutes later they were level. A free kick on the left was nodded in and things looked interesting⚽. It was now all Bilbrook and you just knew they would get a third which duly arrived a couple of minutes from the end, via a penalty⚽.

Tipton didn't do anything wrong,they were just beaten by the better side on the day. Once Bilbrook got up a head of steam,they looked unstoppable.

Wolves Casuals progress in FA Vase.

 12/09/2026

                             ⚽ FA Vase ⚽

Wolverhampton Casuals 3  Studley 1

                                                                                                               Played at Brinsford Stadium

Studley( the bulk of which were 16-17 year olds), played their part in this highly entertaining game. They more than held their own against Casuals bigger, seasoned players,defending well, building their attacks confidently through midfield but eventually failing where it mattered most...in front of goal. Time and again they passed their way towards the opposition goal until meeting the brick wall that was Casuals defence. Casuals, on the other hand had 3 or 4 really good efforts but the Studley keeper pulled off some incredible saves.

Experience eventually told on 68 minutes when,following a corner, number 14 poked the ball in⚽, adding a second 5 minutes later following a superb parry from the keeper,bundling the ball in⚽. The visitors kept going but just 3 minutes later the game was all but settled when number 5(Kirk) added a third⚽. The visitors did manage a consolation goal on 91 minutes with a tap-in⚽.

Casuals deserved their win because they always looked likely to score whereas Studley played some really nice football but rarely looked threatening in front of goal.

Tividale overwhelmed by Wolverhampton City

 15/08/26

                ⚽Midland Football League⚽

Tividale 0  AFC Wolverhampton City 3

 Not too much to report here as this was about the most one-sided game imaginable. Early in the game it was clear to all there was only going to be one winner ; the surprise was it took City almost all of the first half  to score, so praise indeed to the Tivi defenders for their stirling efforts in denying the visitors. When it did arrive on 42 minutes,the goal was as simple as they come...corner, low header into the net⚽.Both sides struggled to play any sort of decent football with the ground being baked hard and it being a hot day.

Within minutes of the restart City added a second⚽. To be fair to Tivi, there was no sign of heads dropping but the final pass was never good enough as City continued to enjoy the bulk of possession and just before the end they added a third from the spot⚽.

Tividale were never short on effort but they were no match for City on the day who,it has to be said were worthy winners.
