Heath Hayes impress.

                                           ⚽ Midland Football League Div 1⚽

Heath Hayes 2  Coventry Copsewood 0

Played at The Coppice Colliery Ground


The first quarter of this game was fairly even, with the visitors possibly looking the more dangerous,attack-wise. That was about as good as it got for them, as gradually, the home side stamped their authority on the game and it soon became clear who the winners would be. From their bright start, the visitors descended into mediocrity, seemingly unable to pass to a colleague. In the 29th minute the hosts took a deserved lead when the defender, heading the ball back to his keeper, failed to see the opposing forward behind him ; that forward was left with the relatively simple task of putting the ball into the net⚽. By this time, the visitors were visibly struggling to make any decent headway against their opponents and they were probably relieved to reach the break with a single goal defecit.

The second period was barely 15 minutes old when the hosts increased their lead⚽ and were threatening to run riot, having numerous attempts thwartedcombined with wayward finishing. The visitors seemed to be pre-occupied with their RH side as everything was aimed that way ; whether that was the plan or not, it kept failing.

Coventry made some sustitutes which seemed to stem the tide somewhat, the introduction of their big number 12 certainly helping to change things ; indeed, the final quarter saw them have their most productive spell of the match and they were unlucky with a couple of efforts. 

Heath Hayes deserved their result. They were definitely the better side on the day and Copsewood can have no complaints.
