⚽ West Midlands Regional League Div 1⚽
Warstones Wanderers 5 Gornal Athletic 3
Played at The Cottage Ground, Amos Lane.
This was pure football entertainment. You name it, this game had it; thundering(but legal, well mostly) tackles, two red cards and most importantly.....goals galore.
The visitors were quickly into their stride and certainly had the momentum for the first 25 or so minutes and were justly rewarded for their endeavors with a goal around the half-hour mark.Their lead lasted about two minutes as Wanderers roared back to level the scores.
With half-time fast approaching the hosts dealt Athletic a devastating blow with two goals in as many minutes.
Gornal started the second half by reducing the arrears on 40 minutes and were bossing possession when I idly remarked to my mate ' You watch, Wanderers will break away and score after Athletic have been all over them '. Prediction correct, score now 4-2. Athletic, still looking dangerous were all over Wanderers who were relying on breakaways .The visitors were having none of it and replied with a third of their own.
Wanderers were reduced to 10 by a red card but it didn't stop them as they added a fifth before losing another player to a red card. It was then 'backs to the wall' stuff but the hosts hung on for a victory in an extremely entertaining clash. Credit to both teams.
