⚽Midland Football League Premier Div⚽
Wolves Casuals 2 Uttoxeter Town 1
Played at Brinsford Stadium
These two teams may well occupy the bottom two league positions but judged on this display, both should hold ambitions of moving in an upward curve. Make no mistake, this was an exhilarating display of attacking football allied to solid defending with the visitors having the lions share of possession,looking the more threatening but matching their hosts with the paucity of shots at goal, the highlight being a Casuals move down the right which resulted in an excellent attempt which was matched by goalkeeping heroics.
Things certainly livened up after the break with Casuals reacting to their half-time chat and going for broke from the off and the earlier thoughts of this ending in a 0-0 draw were fast fading. Town were matching their opponents efforts and also the meaty(but fair)tackles.Something had to give and on 78 minutes following a lofted ball which beat the defender, the Town keeper made a superb save from a blistering shot only for Casuals number 7 being Jonny-on-the-spot to tap the ball home⚽. Town responded and were unlucky on a couple of occasions but their efforts paid off on 89 minutes with a well-deserved equaliser⚽. That was seemingly it for the day but following a melee in the Town area, Casuals number 15 picked his spot with a low drive into the far corner in the 93rd minute⚽. So Town and Casuals swop table positions but this observer would be surprised if they are still there come seasons end.
No doubt about it, this was a real blood and thunder encounter which we thoroughly enjoyed. Credit to both sides and the Midland Football League.
