Dudley Town beaten by Shifnal

            ⚽  Midland Football League Premier Div⚽

Dudley Town 1  Shifnal Town 3

                                                                                Played at Guardian Warehousing Arena

Two goals⚽⚽ before the break left 'out of sorts' Dudley with a mountain to climb as Shifnal bossed the first session. 

An extended half-time break was required due to the referee being injured.

A good talking to at the break had the required effect as the hosts  tore into the visitors and their pressure paid off on 55 minutes to reduce the arrears⚽.  Roles were now  reversed as it was Dudley in the ascendency and they were unlucky on a couple of occasions when striking the post and bar but just when it looked like they must score, the visitors broke at speed and put the game out of reach on 80 minutes⚽.

Fair play to Dudley, they gave it a right go after the break but Shifnal probably deserved the points for their first half display.

Wolves Casuals 2  Uttoxeter Town 5

A 'bad day at the office' for Casuals today as the visitors ran riot in the second period, yet the hosts could have been ahead as early as the first minute but had to settle for a corner. Town looked a stronger outfit as the first half progressed with Casuals doing more than their fair share of defending in restricting the visitors.

Casuals took the lead on 53 minutes with a superb strike from Wilson, giving the keeper no chance⚽. Little did we know what was coming ! Just three minutes later, Town were level⚽ ( no more than they deserved) and within 5 or 6 minutes they were ahead⚽ and just minutes later were awarded a penalty, duly despatched by number 10⚽. Casuals were now lying deeper and the visitors were taking full advantage, added a fourth very quickly⚽. The arrears were soon reduced as Casuals scored from a penalty⚽ but Town restored their 3 goal advantage late on⚽.
