                  Wolverhampton Casuals 0  AFC Wulfrunians 1

Played at Brinsford Stadium

A dour uncompromising local derby epitomised by the refusal of Casuals to submit to their high-flying neighbours. Having taken the lead after five minutes, more than a few observers expected the visitors to rattle in a few more. It was never going to happen, as the more Wulfs  pushed, the more obstinate Casuals became and try as they might, the visitors were fairly comfortably held at bay. 

The hosts saw much more of the ball in the second half without really threatening to score, multiple corners coming to nothing.

This was never a dull game even though real chances were at a premium and on the balance of play the visitors just about shaded it.

Bilston Town Community 1  Heath Hayes 3

Played at Queen Street Stadium

An uncharacteristic display from The Steelmen, lacking all their usual qualities, as they conceded to visitors Heath Hayes. Plenty of possession but most of it wasted. Never really found a way past a resolute defence from the visitors. All in all, a bad day at the office.
