AFC Wulfrunians 0 Leek Town 1
Played at the CKW Stadium
We always look forward with great anticipation to these early FA Cup games especially those like todays' where MFLP Wulfrunians entertained NPSE Leek Town with the prospect of a possible cup upset on the cards.
An entertaining first half dominated by the visitors led to them taking a deserved lead via a penalty in the 36th minute. Although dominant,the visitors' direct shots on goal were,to be fair, few and far between due to the herculean efforts of the home defence. The hosts were not completely overwhelmed, far from it; indeed the visiting keeper had to be on his toes on more than one occasion.
The second half was a complete turnaround with Wulfrunians enjoying large swaths of possession resulting in plenty of efforts on goal. They were denied by the crossbar and some brilliant efforts by the keeper . It seemed only a matter of time before they equalised but unfortunately for them,the visitors' defence were in no mood to give up their hard-won lead. Leek Town move forward to the next round and Wulfrunians return to the league programme on Tuesday against Wallsall Wood,also at the CKW stadium.
An excellent advert for non-league football.
