⚽Midland Football League Premier Div ⚽ 18/09/21
Played at The CKW Stadium
AFC Wulfrunians 2 Stourport Swifts 1
This was somewhat of a strange kind of encounter inasmuch as both sides seemed to have 2 distinct spells of possession/pressure but that didn't spoil the enjoyment ; this league always offers an excellent standard of entertaining football.
Wulfrunians were in the ascendency straight from the off but struggled to find a way through the resolute visitors defence. Following sustained pressure, the inevitable happened in the 7th minute as Swifts played a simple ball to the rhs which beat the defender and left Antonio to slot the ball home. Things were fairly even until the 20th minute when a superb cross-field pass from Hannah left Rowley with a straightforward lob over the advancing keeper. This seemed to spur Wulfs as they controlled things for the remainder of the half.
The second half was again fairly even until the highlight of the match in the 65th minute ; there didn't seem to be much on so Hill cut in from the left and tried his luck and it paid off handsomely when he let fly a 25 yard screamer into the top rh corner. A goal which would grace any MOTD ! Swifts responded magnificently, pouring forward at every opportunity but try as they might , they were unable to break through Wulfs defence.
A brilliant game for any spectator, be they partisan or neutral, played in an excellent if uncompromising spirit.
