⚽West Midlands Regional League Premier Div ⚽
Tipton Town 1 Dudley Athletic 4
Played at Tipton Sports Academy
The writing was on the wall for Tipton as early as the tenth minute as the visitors took the lead far too easily⚽ and this point was hammered home(no pun intended)emphaticlly 4 minutes later when Dudley 11 let go a piledriver to add a second⚽ and a real drubbing was looking extremely likely. Town were all over the place,totally disorganised and being given the run-around by their visitors ; they were not helping themselves by constantly giving the ball away and Dudley midfield were gobbling up everything being offered them. On 40 minutes a third was added⚽ and the whistle could'nt come soon enough forTown.
To be fair to Tipton, they did seem to have a different mindset after the break and they attacked with much purpose and belief. On 70 minutes Town found themselves further in arrears as Dudley scored direct from a corner⚽ which actually was against the run of play seen since the break. Tipton scored via a penalty 4 minutes later⚽ and were unlucky just a few minutes later by hitting a post.
Dudley deserved their win if only for their almost complete domination of the first half. Tipton got what they deserved for such a woeful first half display but fair play to them for showing some spirit after the break.
