Terrific local derby !

                    ⚽West Midlands Regional League Div 1 ⚽                  


                           Willenhall Town 2 Gornal Athletic 3


This was another satisfying Saturday afternoon watching this terrific match being played out by two fully committed teams. From the off it, seemed the visitors were definitely pumped and in the 12th minute they took the lead following sustained pressure and it didn't take long,6 minutes in fact, to add a second. The hosts were being given the run-around and it looked like it was a matter of how many for Gornal and in the 28th minute it was 3-0 with a sweet goal following a cross from the left which was met on the half-volley and smashed past the keeper. Surprise,surprise, 3 minutes later the hosts reduced the arrears and we thought we were indeed in for a 'match'.


Whatever was said  in the Town dressing room at the break, it worked as the hosts came out and inflicted on the visitors, the exact same pressure they had endured for most of the 1st half and it paid off in the 72nd minute with a terrific goal following excellent work down the rhs. It certainly was 'game on ' now and despite efforts from both sides this was how it finished.

A brilliant match to watch and a credit to the Grass Roots game.
