Shifnal Town 1 Willenhall Town 2
Our latest sojourn to The Trio Construction Stadium,home of Shifnal Town witnessed the definitive 'game of two halves'.The visitors,in front after 3 minutes controlled the first half ,being first to the ball,quicker into the tackle and faster to close down any attacking threat from the opposition.Indeed,it was only luck that prevented the hosts being much further in arrears at the interval.
Fair play to Shifnal;whatever was said at half-time had a dramatic effect on their performance.Within minutes of the restart,they were level.Now the roles were reversed with the hosts enjoying the majority of possession and the number of goalbound shots.It seemed only a matter of time before they scored a second.As written in this blog many,many times previously,when on top make sure you score because possession is irrelevant if you don't;and so it proved with the game seemingly heading for a draw a long cross-field ball found was hit first time into the area and tapped home to give the visitors a winner in the final few minutes.
Willenhall got their just desserts for keeping going while Shifnal paid the price for not making their possession pay.All in all, a very good game for the neutral(us).
