⚽West Midlands Regional League Premier Div⚽
Tipton Town 4 Stourport Swifts Alliance 1
This game didn't take long to come to life with Town forward number 9 turning the defender and curling one into the far corner in the first minute⚽. Town were having more of it than their opponents and but for some weak finishing, could have had another couple of goals in just the first 20 minutes. Swifts looked fine in midfield and ok in defence but they lacked a cutting edge up front.
15 minutes after the break,Town increased their lead with a header at the far post⚽ ; within a minute of the restart Swifts reduced the arrears. Swifts were repelling all that Town were throwing at them but then gave away a soft penalty which was duly despatched despite a valiant attempt to save it⚽. Any remote chance of Swifts rescueing anything from the game went out of the window a couple of minutes later when their keeper was red-carded for handling outside the area and from the resulting free-kick,Town added a fourth⚽.
A case could be made for Swifts believing they were better than the score suggests but a counter to that is the fact they really do struggle in front of goal whereas Town always looked the more threatening.
