Shifnal Town 3 Smethwick 2 (click on each team for their Wickipedia page)
Shifnal took their chance to climb the table with this result.With a 2-0 half-time lead,it seemed Town were destined for three points but this game was anything but clear-cut.Granted, Town just about deserved to be in front at the break but the neutral(includes us) could take the other view and say the visitors didn't deserve to be losing.Indeed,for long periods of the first half Smethwick were in the ascendency but lacked the killer touch.
Whatever was said in the visitors dressing-room at half-time....it worked ! Smethwick seemed to take the game by the scruff of the neck and before too long they were level albeit due to two goalkeeping errors but it was no less than they deserved for their efforts.That appeared to be it until a delicious cross was controlled and lobbed over the visiting keeper.
This was a tremendous game for the neutral.Prior to this match,I watched the Liverpool/ManU game which was absolute dross so we say thank you to both teams for entertaining us.
