Wednesfield and Chelmsley serve up a treat.

                        Midland Football League Div 1⚽


Wednesfield 1 Chelmsley Town 1

                                                                                                              Played at The Cottage Ground


On a somewhat autumnal-feeling afternoon, we were treated to an exhilarating game of football with both sides having long passages of posession, playing lots of nice football without a goal to show for it, although it has to be said, the visitors looking the more likely. Chelmsley were seemingly content to soak up pressure and hit the hosts on the break and so it was that in the 34th minute they opened the scoring with a text-book goal, a cross from the right,beating all defenders, leaving the attacker to pass the ball into the net⚽. It was no more than they deserved for their enterprising play.

Following the break, the hosts upped their game using the full width of the pitch and were unlucky on a number of occasions, poor finishing being the main reason. Something had to give and in the 80th minute another cross from the right was despatched, the attacker rising above his defender to nod home and level things⚽. Two minutes later Wednesfield had a second which was deemed offside and full credit to them, went looking for a winner but it wasn't to be.
