                                                           ⚽ FA Vase⚽

Bilston Town 1  Gresley Rovers 0

Bilston opponents,United Counties League Premier Division North outfit Gresley Rovers were backed by huge travelling support,swelling the average 100 Queen Street attendance to 500 +.

The atmosphere was terrific but to be fair,the first half wasn't up to much with plenty of 'hoofing' on show(from both sides).

The second period was a slight improvement  and things certainly livened up on 80 minutes when Towns number 11 swivelled inside the area to send a low drive beneath the keeper⚽. A second goal was disallowed for an infringement. Try as they might,Rovers couldn't score but came close when the ball rebounded off the bar and was cleared.
