⚽West Midlands Regional League Div 1⚽
Tipton Town 4 Stourport Swifts Development 1
Tipton consolidated their position at the top with a convincing victory against spirited opponents.
The visitors were straight out of the traps, giving the hosts plenty to think about for the first quarter of the match but Tipton gradually took control and just before the break they deservedly opened the scoring through Clifton who was 'Johnny on the spot' to tap home⚽. As already stated, Swifts were'nt there to just make up the numbers, attacking with gusto and defending in numbers.
On the hour mark Town scored a second when Holder hit a 20 yard thunderbastard which was good enough to win any game, so credit to the visitors keeper for getting so close to it⚽. Tipton were, by now, running the show and it was no surprise when they added a third on 75 minutes, Turner latching onto a ball over the top and ran on to beat the keeper⚽. Swifts were not done though and they were awarded a penalty soon after which was duly despatched⚽. The visitors seemed to gain a second wind late in the game but Town were in mood to give them anything and in the final minutes they added a fourth goal via Piggot⚽.
Commiserations to Swifts who gave a good showing but tp be honest, they were overpowered by the better side on the day.
