⚽ ⚽ FA Cup ⚽ ⚽
Wolverhampton Casuals 0 Rugby Town 3
Brinsford Stadium 3/08/2024
What could be better to kick off the new season than an FA Cup game ? Rugby Town were the visitors and brought along a raucous backing.
The visitors were quickly out of the blocks and looking threatening without really testing the home keeper with Casuals relying on quick breaks, particularly down the left. Casuals did have their own spells of possession but were also guilty of wasting the chances they created.
Following the break, Town seemed to step up the pace and the hosts were finding it increasingly difficult to contain them, seemingly being penned in their own half. Following a speight of corners late in the match, it seemed only a matter of time before Town scored and so it transpired when, following another corner,the ball seemed to beat all at the near post to leave an open goal for a tap-in⚽. Once that happened, the floodgates opened as Casuals collapsed and two more quickly followed⚽⚽.
Town were well worth their win and progress to the next round with a few quid in the bank. Casuals were unable to carry their first-half performance into the second half and were duly punished.
