⚽Midland Football League Div 1⚽
Bilston Town 2 Chelmsley Town 0
On a day when the weather played havoc with the fixtures,this was one of only two division 1 matches played(apparently there are old mine-shafts underneath the pitch which enables excellent drainage (as told to my mate today)). As a result,there was a sizeable crowd to view this excellent game.
The initial third of the game was relatively even with Bilston looking the more dangerous in front of goal whereas the visitors looked strongest in midfield but lacked a cutting edge where it mattered. On 42 minutes Bilston deservedly took the lead following sustained pressure and that's how it stayed until the break⚽.
Bilston continued the second half with sustained pressure and it seemed only a matter of time before they added to their talley ; on 70 minutes Carter chased a lost cause and received his just desserts as he forced a mix-up between defender and keeper and slotted home a fine goal from an acute angle⚽. The pressure very nearly resulted in another goal before Chelmsley enjoyed a final 10 or so minutes of pressure and with better finishing, could have had a couple themselves. That would have harsh on the hosts as they were clearly the superior team on the day.
