Tipton Town go marching on .

      ⚽West Midlands Regional League Div 1⚽

Tipton Town 4 Bustlehome 1

                                                                                                              Played at Tipton Sports Academy

Six wins from their first 7 games has given Tipton a solid seasons start and they lead the table. Today was another opportunity to put pressure on the following pack.

 The visitors enjoyed plenty of possession during the first 25 minutes although never putting the keeper under serious pressure. Tipton showed them how on 28 minutes, scoring direct from a corner⚽. Although behind, the visitors continued to press but were unable to penetrate the home defence and on 40 minutes the hosts increased their lead when a measured ball over the top was latched onto, the attacker out-muscling the defender and planting a shot in the far corner⚽. The visitors early possession was evaporating rapidly and Tipton added a third before the break, their number 6 receiving the ball from a corner put his laces through to give the keeper no chance⚽.

Following the break Bustlehome  again enjoyed lots of the ball but finding a way through the home defence was proving nigh on impossible with the two Tipton central defenders regularly breaking up play, This was becoming almost a replay of the first half as the hosts weathered the storm, imposed themselves, won a corner and on 85 minutes, added a fourth goal⚽. The visitors gained a consolation goal when, in the dying stages they were awarded a penalty which was duly despatched⚽.

Credit to Tipton for a workman-like display, not forgetting Bustlehome whose contribution added to the enjoyment of the game.
