Tividale 5 Bilston Town Community 1
As I write this weeks' blog following todays' game at The Beeches,I think back to all the mind-numbingly boring PL games I've endured in the past.Watching that dross,you may well see intricate passing,lots of little tricks and all the White-board tactics imaginable but what you will not see is a game like this.It was brilliant. Had everything you could ask for in a game;plenty of goals,bone-crunching(but fair)tackles,penalties(one converted,one saved) and no little amount of skill.What you wont see is any play-acting or players rolling around trying to get other players booked. In my years writing this blog, I've oft repeated ,those that don't watch this level of football are missing a treat.
Ten minutes in and the visitors are awarded a penalty following a needless tackle just inside the box;duly converted and it looks like we have an interesting game ahead. Tivi showed why they are vying for top-spot with some nice football which eventually paid off in the 17th minute with an equalizer. From then on it was really a case of the hosts applying maximum pressure and the visitors refusing to cave in.....well,almost;Tivis' pressure had to lead to something sooner or later and it did with further goals and a penalty brilliantly saved by the visiting keeper.
All things considered, on a bitterly cold day this was a really good game to almost make you forget the cold ! Well done to both sides for putting on such a good show.
