Tipton Town v Alvechurch

This was our first visit to Tipton Sports Academy for a while and we weren't disappointed. Following a poor start to the season(for reasons best left alone) Tipton are a club seemingly moving in the right direction.Gone are the severe bollockings they were regularly receiving and in place is a team of workers beginning to get their just rewards.Alvechurch, on the other hand are enjoying a fairly successful season so far with just 6 defeats.There was little to chose between these two,so close was the game. Tipton took the lead with a bullet-header from Henley which nearly took the net out.It was nip and tuck for the rest of the half with both sides having chances,Tipton via their number 11 whose pace and trickery was a joy to watch and Alvechurch through their number 10 who was repeatedly denied by the home 'keeper who also saved a penalty. The visitors were not to be denied though and leveled shortly before half-time from a superbly crafted move. The second half was basically a repeat of the first, with both sides having spells of domination without scoring. All in all,a draw was a fair result. It was an excellent game to watch for the neutral.For the home side the goalkeeper,No 5 and No 11 starred and for the visitors,No 6, No 9 and No10.It's possibly a little unfair to pick these six players out as all played their part in a rousing encounter.
