AFC Wulfrunians v Tividale
Following their Boxing
Day defeat by Tipton,Tividale put on a five star show at Castlecroft.
From the kick-off they controlled the game for long
periods,restricting Wulfs to the occasional breakaway. When Wulfs did
gain possession,their forwards were heavily outnumbered by the
visitors' defence so the the attacks just kept on coming. For all
Tividales' possession, the first real clean shot on goal came from
Wulfs' Andy Thompson,cutting in from the left and forcing a good save
from the keeper, at the expense of a corner. Around about the
half-hour mark Wulfs looked to be turning the tide and honours were
even for the remaining 15 or so minutes. That said, Tividale ought to
have had something to show for all their possession.

Wulfs carried on where
they left off and took the game to the visitors and were looking
good. Their two half-time substitutes were having an impact. Thompson
was put through but was foiled by some brave goalkeeping. A couple of
minutes later Tividale took the lead through Waite and within three
minutes had increased their lead. The icing on their cake came five
minutes later with a third goal and the match was over as a contest.
Credit to Wulfs who never gave up but this Tividale side has competed
in the Alliance for three years now and are looking like they should
win it this time and move up(ground conditions allowing). Wulfs look
to be following the same path and I can see them doing really well
next season, they have a good solid mix of players.

An excellent advert for
non-league football. A fellow spectator said he liked watching this
level as ' they try to play it on the ground'.Couldn't agree more.
