Tividale 2 Sporting Khalsa 3
Prior to making my way to 'The Beeches' I'd listened on 5live to the Man U/Arsenal game which was apparently dreadful,according to the commentators😞 They really don't know what they're missing.I have watched MFL/WMRL/NPL games nearly every week of the season for the past three or four years and I've yet to see a poor or boring game.This was yet another of those terrific local non-league derbies;the visitors enjoying a fine season after a stuttering start and the hosts only just getting it together after a disastrous early spell.Indeed,this Tivi side is unrecognisable from the one that started the season.
Khalsa took the lead on 20 minutes and were unlucky 5 minutes later,the ball rebounding off the foot of the post to deny them a 2-0 lead but it didn't take Tivi long to level things with a superb free kick on 32 minutes.The strange thing was,going into this game,the visitors had twice as many points as their hosts which was not that evident from what we were seeing on the pitch.Again,on 32 minutes the visitors went ahead but 2 minutes later, back came Tivi with an equaliser of such quality;a left-wing cross being met with a bicycle kick giving the keeper no chance(you wont see anything to better it on MOTD tonight).To all intents that was it;with 2 or 3 minutes left,I was moving towards the exit when Khalsa bagged the winner.Another superb game with everything for the partisan and neutral spectator.To sum up,this result is probably hard for Tividale to take after giving as good as they got but I suppose you have to hand it to Khalsa;they're in their league position for a reason
