Tividale v Stourbridge
This was a real good local derby.Tivi are going through a difficult spell at present being rooted at the foot of the NPL First Division South table and to be honest,it showed,with the visitors controlling large swathes of the game in the first half. Indeed, the hosts could have had no complaints if Stourbridge had gone in 3 goals to the good,such was their superiority.As it was all the visitors had to show for their efforts was a goal from Pierpoint on the half-hour; their lead would have been more but for the heroics of the home goalkeeper.The second half saw Tivi much improved and whereas the Stourbridge keeper was relatively untroubled in the first half,he was far busier in the second,the hosts being unlucky on a couple of occasions.Had Tivi equalized,Stourbridge would only have had themselves to blame having failed to put the game to bed in the first half.
A good game watched by a good-natured crowd and it's Stourbridge who progress to the next round with the bank-balance looking healthier to the tune of £3000.
