Old Wulfrunians 4  Wyrley 1

First game of New Years Eve was this mid-day kick-off at Old Wulfrunians Memorial Ground,Castlecroft.It was an entertaining game and after thirty minutes it was looking as though the hosts were heading for a cricket score but the visitors then dug in and gradually pressed their opponents.Despite looking threatening they lacked a finishing touch where it mattered.The visitors were on it from the restart and got their just reward for some enterprising play within minutes of the kick-off and went looking for a second but they were again let down by their lack of a cutting edge up front.The home side tied things up with a fourth goal and that was that really. This was a highly entertaining game for the neutral spectator.

AFC Wulfrunians 2 Brocton 3

Wulfrunians started this game with a  30 yard 'worldy' from Brady after 5 minutes;there wont be a better goal on MOTD; but they were undone by bottom club Brocton who refused to buckle and defended superbly. This is the second time we've seen the visitors and they have impressed on both occasions.The sure-footed visitors possessed none of the hesitancy shown by the hosts,were inventive in midfield and but for some wayward efforts in front of goal would have levelled things and possibly gone ahead sooner.The deserved equalizer came on 30 minutes.Midway through the second half Wulfrunians went ahead with a converted penalty after Webb was upended.You sensed Brocton were not out of it and so it proved with a real sting in the tail as they scored on 88 minutes and added a third in added time.

The look on the Wulfrunians faces  at the final whistle told you everything;after a less than convincing display they had been done at the death by a team that fought for everything and never gave in.

Brocton certainly look a side in a false position(on this showing) while Wulfrunians look bereft of confidence.

Anyone recognize this famous face in the crowd ?
