Bilston bag Five

                                      Midland Football League Div 1⚽

Bilston Town Community 5 Paget Rangers 2

Played at Queen Street Stadium, Bilston

This was the stuff to make you forget it was a freezing afternoon ; it was terrific !

The hosts were straight into their stride leading to some crunching(but fair) tackles, giving the visitors little time in possession. It seemed only a matter of time before Town scored,such was their superiority but on 35 minutes it was the visitors who took the lead with their first effort on goal ; an innocuous-looking cross was inadvertantly headed into the path of the opposition player who duly banged it into the onion bag⚽. Town didn't have to wait too long for an equaliser, about 10 minutes in fact, when they were awarded a penalty which was due reward for their enterprising play⚽.

The second half was only minutes old when Town were awarded a second penalty which was duly despatched⚽. Rangers had their moments but the Town defence was in no mood to give them anything, snapping into the tackle at the first sign of danger. The visitors were in danger of being overwhelmed as Town took control but still managed to reduce the arrears⚽ but further goals from Town were added, the best of them being the fifth⚽.

Rangers were unlucky to meet a team on top of their game on the day.
