Wednesfield 3 Shifnal 1
This was a terrific game for the neutral observer.The weather was bloody horrible...cold,wet and generally Novembery but watching this game you could forget the elements.The home side had a disastrous start when they were reduced to 10 men after only 10 minutes play.It didn't seem to bother them as they took the game to the visitors but as is so often the case,good approach work was undone by poor finishing,a trait which also applied to the visitors.While Shifnal look to have some experience,Wednesfield look to be quite a young side with some very nippy kids.Just as the first half was finishing the visitors took the lead with what can only be described as an opportunist goal.A high cross was punched clear by the keeper only to be volleyed back into an empty net.Credit to the scorer(No 4 ?) for his quick thinking.
So,45 gone,1-0 down with 10 men....it didn't look good,but this Wednesfield team is obviously made of strong stuff and back they came,with a vengeance.All three of their goals came from perserverance and the neutral would have to admit they deserved their win.Shifnal played well enough but Wednesfield had the secret ingredient....doggedness;they just don't know when they are beaten and me and my mate were impressed with them.
