Steelmen put to the sword.

                                    West Midland Regional League

              Bilston Town v Black Country Rangers

Things are looking up; flowers on the primroses,buds on the roses,it's definitely a little warmer, but most relevant of all.............it's stopped bloody raining! At last we can actually watch a WMRL game and the clubs are able to generate some much-needed income.

I've long believed if you want atmosphere at this level,there aint many better places than Queen Street Stadium,home of Bilston Town FC but strangely,on this occasion the cheer-leaders were nowhere to be seen.....or heard.

Nick Turton was returning to his former club and was given a good welcome and showed his appreciation by assisting as Rangers took the lead inside 4 minutes. The Steelmen replied as they always do,by going on the attack and were unlucky on a couple of occasions.Although the pitch looked in fair nick after the crap weather,there were patches of boggy ground which caught out more than a few players. Rangers had the bulk of possession but were unable to increase their lead.

Half-time ; Bilston Town 0 BCR 1

From the off the visitors tore into their hosts and it was no surprise when they scored a second.Bilston were struggling to get out of their own half as Rangers turned the screw and the inevitable third was soon in the net.I think most spectators were expecting a hammering but the hosts scored a late consolation goal to bring respectability to the scoreline.


Town didn't seem to be firing on all cylinders but to be fair they were up against a very good Rangers side who are hoping for promotion this year.
