⚽F A Vase ⚽
Dudley Town 2 Darlaston Town 2 (Dudley win on penalties)
Played at The Guardian Warehousing Arena
Dudley, roared on by a big vocal following, were out of the blocks pretty sharpish and although under pressure, Darlaston seemed to cope without too much concern and as they gradually worked their way into the game it was they who began to look the more threatening. That all went out of the window on 19 minutes when the hosts opened the scoring ; a ball in from the left seemed to confuse the keeper and before he could act, the ball was poked home by the Dudley number 9⚽. Within a minute the visitors were level ; a superb cross from the right left Bishop with little to do but nod the ball home⚽.
Following the break,it was Darlaston who were quickest off the mark and within 6 minutes were ahead via their number 10⚽. Now it was Dudley playing catch up and they were given a lift on 65 minutes when the Darlaston number 4 was red-carded and they immediately made their superiority count two minutes later. A goalmouth scramble led to two shots being cleared off the line but unfortunately for the visitors, the third was fired home by the Dudley number 11⚽. 2-2 and a place in the next round to play for but that was the end of the scoring in normal time (other than a cast-iron claim for a Dudley penalty missed by the ref and his assistant), with Dudley progressing via penalties.
An excellent game between to very committed sides.
