Dudley Athletic and Stourport Swifts share the spoils.

                             West Midlands Regional League Div 1


Dudley Athletic 2  Stourport Swifts Development 2

                                                                                                                  Played at Brinsford Stadium

Incident-wise, this game had the best start imagineable, a penalty( to the hosts ) after just 2 minutes. Unfortunately for them, it was well-saved by the keeper and apart from a shot rebounding off the Dudley bar that was really it for the next half-hour until the visitors struck on 33 minutes⚽. The keeper did well to stop the shot but in doing so he pushed onto the foot of the oncoming forward who couldn't really miss. The game resumed as before with much effort but little progress from either side. Just before the break a floated cross was met with a well-guided header into the top LH corner to level the scores⚽.

Following the break Dudley were much improved and took the game to the visitors and on 65 minutes were awarded a hotly-disputed penalty for their efforts, which was duly dispatched⚽. Back came the visitors and following a bit of pinball wizard in the area, the ball ended up in the back of the net⚽. There then followed a little bit of handbags which, let's be honest we don't want to see at any level,never mind this one where money is not involved, but things were quickly calmed and that was it really. A game with a rather humdrum first half was a much better spectacle in the second period.
