Lye Town 3 Brocton 1
Following the dross served up by England and Scotland,this game was a treat.Brocton may well be looking marooned at the bottom but they belied their position with some stylish football and made joint league-leaders Lye work for everything.We tend to forget that the standard in this league is so good,every team is there on merit.
Lye went ahead on the half-hour but it was never a comfortable lead with the visitors seeing plenty of the ball but possibly lacking a cutting-edge where it mattered. The home side increased their lead on the hour and it looked all over bar the shouting; and it was, other than a ball over the top from the visitors midfield which brought the home keeper rushing out to boot the ball away only for it to cannon off the Brocton forward and loop over the keeper and into an empty net.Suddenly,game on ! Brocton could sense there may be something for them in this game and credit to them,they really went for it but as already stated,that lack of a cutting-edge was to let them down.Indeed,on more than one occasion the hosts were to break from defence at speed only to be let down by some poor finishing or repelled by an athletic visiting keeper.In added time Lye put clear daylight between themselves and the visitors with a stunning volley,restoring their two-goal advantage and taking them to joint top with games in hand.Credit to both sides for a cracking game.Eat your hearts out England and Scotland !
