Extra Preliminary Round
Tividale FC 2 Wednesfield 1
Played at The Beeches
Just a matter of weeks after Man City walloped Watford in the FA Cup final,the whole thing begins again.
On paper, this looked a tasty fixture and so it turned out to be.The hosts would have been expecting a hard game against their WMRL opponents and that's exactly what transpired; as stated in previous posts on this blog,Wednesfield dig deep. A complete neutral could not have guessed these two were a league apart. No quarter was asked and certainly none given with some really meaty tackles flying in but on the quarter-hour the hosts took the lead with a smashing hit from Daniel Smith. Wednesfield got their reward for some sterling work on 28 minutes from the spot.
Nothing changed after the break with the visitors giving as good as they got in all areas but with 10 minutes left Tivi regained the lead from a free kick;from that moment on,Wednesfield threw everything bar the kitchen sink at the hosts and would have equalised but for some outstanding saves by the home keeper.
MOTM Tividale ; No 1
MOTM Wednesfield ; No 6
All in all a fantastic game for neutral and supporter alike. Tividale move on to the next round with a couple of grand added to the coffers while Wednesfield rue their luck and go home with £750.
