Gornal Athletic v Bilston Town Community
Surveying the available fixtures for the day,this one stuck out a mile as the obvious choice for this groundhopper. Local derbys at professional level can often be 100 miles an hour games where game-plans go out of the window.Non-league derbys are rarely like that and this game was a perfect example where both sides stuck to their normal passing game with the home-side having the lions' share of the first half and enjoying a half-time lead.The visitors controlled large swathes of the second half with Habbershaw doing a superb job up front leading the line, and were rewarded with a goal of their own.Game on ! Alas their possession counted for nowt in the end as their hosts ran out the victors 3-1.
The standard of football at this level never fails to amaze me.Like most matches at this level,the game was played in an excellent spirit with no nastiness,trying to fool the ref or feigning injury.To those Baggies,Villa and Wolves supporters who don't go to away games,I'd say 'just make the effort once to attend one of these local games'.I guarantee you would come to another one.
