Shifnal started brightly, as though
they believed they could get something from the game. That belief
seemed to evaporate when Khalsa applied any sort of pressure and on
12 minutes the visitors took the lead and were looking as though they
could score at will. This turned out to be not the case as the hosts
industrious efforts in midfield contained the visitors until just
before the break, when a quick breakaway paid dividends and Khalsa
were two goals to the good.
Half-time ; Shifnal Town 0 Sporting
Khalsa 2
From the restart, the visitors took
control and it was no surprise when they added a third, quickly
followed by a fourth. A cricket score seemed likely, but......somehow
this seemed to galvanise Shifnal and it was now them turning the
screw. If only they'd had a goalscorer, their efforts may have paid
off . Nothing seemed to go their way. Mis-kicks, saving tackles and
the visiting goalkeeper contrived to spoil their efforts. Of course
with this attacking play came the risk of leaving themselves open at
the back and several times Khalsa could have increased their lead.
The visitors look to have plenty of experience in their forward line,
an unforgiving defence and should be up with the front-runners at the
death. Shifnal worked extremely hard and certainly deserved a goal
from the game but they were undone by a stronger, faster and possibly
fitter side on the day.
