Wednesfield fight back in local derby.

            ⚽Midland Football League Div 1


Wednesfield Community 1  Bilston Town 1


As local derbies go, this was a bit of a damp squib to begin with ; hard to tell if high-flying visitors Bilston Town were having a bit of an off-day or hosts Wednesfield got their nullifying tactics just right, in front of a bumper crowd. Whatever, the result was a fairly mundane first half with both sides guilty of some glaring misses.

Following the break, things definitely took a turn for the better as the visitors upped their game and were rewarded with a goal on the hour mark ; a goalbound effort was saved,only for the ball to fall at the feet of the visitors number 10(I may be wrong on the player) who    smacked it home⚽. For a while, it looked more likely Bilston would increase their lead but Wednesfield gained a second wind as the game drew to a close and minutes from full-timethey were awarded a penalty which was duly despatched by number 6⚽.

Honours even was probably the right result as neither side really did enough on the day to earn three points.
