Stalemate at Shifnal Town

      ⚽Midland Football League  Premier Div ⚽          04/09/21


The Acoustafoam Stadium


                          Shifnal Town 0   Highgate Utd 0

This was a case of  highly rated MFL newcomers against a well-established, tough as old boots MFL team and proved to be a fascinating match. The visitors were on the front foot from the off and it took Shifnal quite a while to establish a foothold in the game but as the half wore on they were looking the side most likely to score.

Following the break, it was the visitors  who began to stamp their authority on the game, controlling midfield but unable to find any decent end product , although they did have a goal disallowed for off-side. Indeed as the game progressed, it was Shifnal looking more dangerous in the area and it was they who had the best of any opportunities on offer.

The game entered the realms of farce near the end when the visiting keeper was 'sin-binned'(not sure of the reason) and it took a while to sort things out. Nothing really changed as a result of this strange incident and the game finished honours even.
