Tipton win a scrappy contest.

           West Midlands Regional League Div 1⚽

Tipton Town 2  Wrens Nest 0

The visitors started well without actually looking as though they would scorel but Tipton soon assumed command and by the time 20 minutes were up, it was they who hit the post and had a goal disallowed(offside). Nest, belying their lowly league position, continued giving a good account of themselves but it was the hosts who always looked the more threatening and on 40 minutes a low cross from the right needing only a tap-in was superbly blocked on the line. Just a few minutes later, the same move resulted in a goal for the hosts which, on the balance of play, they fully deserved⚽.

Following the break, Tipton still looked the side most likely to score and did so but both efforts were ruled offside, while Nest had their moments, there was a definite lack of firepower from them. Tipton put the game to bed minutes from the end with a superb solo effort from Piggott who,receiving the ball,outpaced the defender and blasted his shot into the top left hand corner⚽. Nest continued to give it a go but were unable to break through a resolute defence and Tipton take the points from a game that was never a humdinger but still good viewing for the neutral spectator.
