🏆 FA Cup Extra Preliminary Round 🏆 7/8/2021
Tividale 2 Shifnal Town 0
Its hard to believe the FA Cup starts here in August, when the Final doesn't take place until next May but here it is and this was an excellent game to start with.
Shifnal ,newly promoted following two frustrating seasons were quickly out of the blocks and had the upper hand for the first quarter but the game took a dramatic turn on 30 minutes when the visitors were reduced to 10 men following a red card. This led to the hosts taking the lead within 2 minutes of the incident and they more or less held sway for the rest of the half.
Whatever was said in the interval worked wonders for the visitors and their ten men threatened ,at times, to overwhelm their hosts but Tividale stood strong under extreme pressure with their two centre backs having impressive games. The inevitable happened when Tivi took advantage of Towns' eff🏆orts to reduce the arrears and made a sweet breakaway move downfield to increase their lead on 65 minutes. It looked all over for Shifnal when Tivi were awarded a penalty ten minutes later but their keeper brought off a terrific save to give them hope. Try as they might, the visitors were unable to make the breakthrough and it is Tividale who progress to the next round.
Congratulations and good luck to Tividale.
Commiserations and hard luck Shifnal Town.
