⚽ Midland Football League Premier Div ⚽
Tividale 2 Highgate Utd 2 Played at The Beeches
What a great way to spend Saturday afternoon !
Two committed teams going at it hell for leather ; a side lying 7th and one at 15th, but a neutral wouldn't have known which. The 1st half undoubtedly belonged to the visitors who took full advantage of a below par Tividale performance and seemed to cope with the strong breeze much better and were sharper in the tackles, faster in attack and more committed.
The second half continued in much the same vein and the inevitable goal for the visitors came on the hour mark with the home defence hoping for an offside...which didn't come. Tivi began to up their game but were brought back down to earth when the visitors increased their lead with just over 10 minutes to go. This was probably the spur Tivi needed as they threw the kitchen sink at their visitors and just 4 minutes later they reduced the arrears with a stunning free kick. With time running out, incredibly, the hosts saved the day with an 89th minute equaliser.
Hard luck on the visitors who belied their lowly league position but you have give the hosts credit for a tremendous fightback when all seemed lost.
