⚽Midland Football League Div 1⚽
Bilston Town 2 Birstall United Social 2
Played at Bilston Town FC, Queen Street,Bilston
Birstall left it late to salvage a fully deserved share of the spoils from a game they had dominated for long periods.
Bilston started this game at breakneck speed and stormed into the lead on 5 minutes with a brilliantly worked goal ; the ball was swept across the full width of the pitch from the left where it was volleyed into the middle and Number 7(Naz ?) was there to pass it into the net⚽. By this time everyone had seen how dangerous the visitors could be ; they were outshooting the hosts but their shots lacked any sort of threat. Bilston increased their lead on the haf-hour ; a free kick from 25 yards was floated to the far post and number 9 was their to apply the finishing touch⚽.
Birstalls shooting was letting them down consistensly, that is until 38 minutes when a floated ball over the top had the defence incorrectly calling for offside and the ball was smashed into the far corner(scorer unknown)⚽. It was no more than they deserved for some enterprising play.
On 80 minutes, I recorded " the visitors look dangerous and I'll be surprised if they dont equalise". I was right , 2 minutes from time their relentless pressure paid off(again, missed the scorer)⚽.
An excellent game which could(and probably should) have gone the other way had the visitors brought their shooting boots along.
