⚽Midland Football League Premier Division⚽
Wolverhampton Casuals 1 Atherstone Town 1
Played at Brinsford Stadium
This was certainly time well spent as these two sides served up some excellent entertainment.
Atherstone were cheered on by a sizeable, vociferous following, with plenty of banter being thrown around, most of it aimed at the referee 😁.
The visitors look an accomplished side and they showed why they're in the top half of the table during a first half of many to's and fro's, having the bulk of possession but on every occasion spoiling good build-up work with poor finishing. Casuals were not by any means overawed, also having their moments but found an almost impregnable defence facing them,
The hosts must have had a discussion during the break as they put the visitors under pressure from the off and were rewarded with a goal on 57 minutes. Thereafter it was they who called the tune and threatened, on numerous occasions, to increase their lead. All seemed set fair for a home victory but for some astute substitutions by Town ; the pendulum swung completely as they bombarded Casuals,who were just about clinging on. Something had to give......and it did. On 90 minutes,following an almighty goalmouth scramble the ball was stabbed home and Town got their just reward for playing to the final whistle.
A highly entertaining game played in an excellent atmosphere.
