AFC Wulfrunians 3 Wolverhampton Casuals 0
Played at Prestige Arena
A bugler played The Last Post and a two minutes silence was impeccably observed, in memory of the Fallen. A nice touch from Wulfrunians was the Poppy imprinting around the touch-line.
The emphatic scoreline doesn't tell the true story of this game ; Casuals were always in this 100 mph game. The visitors often dominated but were unable to capitalise on there territorial advantage. Time and again they would smoothly negotiate their way through midfield with some smart passing only to run out of ideas where it mattered ; indeed two early one-on-ones where a goal appeared certain, were the perfect examples of chances being scorned. Wulfrunians, on the other hand, were able to absorb all that was thrown at them and break at speed and there was always someone in the right place ready to pounce. The hosts went ahead on 23 minutes when their number 9 fired home⚽.
After the break, it was all Casuals but as already stated, dominating possession is all well and good but there has to be an end product. Wulfrunians increased their advantage on 72 minutes after a breakaway, emphasising the difference in front of goal⚽. This did not deter Casuals and they continued to press, but nothing came from any of their efforts. The game was put out of their reach on 85 minutes. A free kick on the left was floated into the 6 yard box and Wulfrunians number 14 was quickest to react, heading beyond the keepers reach⚽.
Fair play to the hosts for taking their chances but Casuals must be kicking themselves after having lots of possession and nothing to show for it.
