Old Wulfrunians 4 Tipton Town 2
Played at Brinsford Lane Stadium
After watching the midday Crystal Palace/Brighton dross on Sky ,this was a refreshing change; bags of energy,running,hard tackling and nothing nasty.
The game got off to a cracking start with both teams threatening but it was Wulfs who struck first after 10 minutes following a goalmouth scramble. Town weren't to be outdone though and 2 minutes later, from the resulting kick-off they put together an excellent flowing move which got the goal it deserved; game on ! These two were really putting on a show and on 19 minutes Wulfs again went ahead after another passage of excellent football and on 30 minutes they increased their lead, which,on the balance of play was probably deserved as they had begun to dominate. Everything seemed to be going for Wulfs but they were reduced to 10 men in the 37th minute(second yellow card).
The second period started with Tipton using their extra man(especially the speed-merchant No 10) to advantage and it paid off on 54 minutes with a headed goal from a corner. The feeling was Town would get themselves on level terms but credit to Wulfs; they dug in,resisted all that Town could throw at them,played themselves back into the game and increased their lead on 77 minutes. This seemed to knock the stuffing out of Town and try as they might they were unable to reduce the deficit.
Another outstanding WMRL game played in good spirit and a credit to non-league football.
