⚽Midland Football League ⚽
Wolverhampton Casuals 2 Shifnal Town 1
This was something to on a cold afternoon as two good teams went toe to toe with Casuals certainly having the better of the early exchanges but with neither side really threatening a goal. Having said that, the visitors worked their way into the game midway through the first period and it was they who held sway for most of the rest of the first half.
The second period saw the hosts impose themselves much more and their pressure told in the 64th minute following a rapid counter-attack, with the ensuing shot from Cottam seemingly taking a wicked deflection resulting in the ball trickling over the line⚽. It was no more than they deserved for their no nonsence efforts and they certainly weren't prepared to stand on their laurels as they went in search of the killer goal, but it was Shifnal who claimed the next goal in the 83rd minute when , from a corner on the right Jarman headed in⚽. To all intents and purposes that seemed to be it until, in the 93rd minute Smith unleashed a cracking shot into the top rh corner giving the keeper no chance⚽.
This was a really good game for partisan and neutral spectator alike, played at a fast pace with some thundering (but fair) challenges going in. The visitors played their part but can't really have any complaints as Casuals were the better side on the day.
