⚽ West Midlands Regional League Premier Div⚽
Bilbrook 1 Gornal Colts 1
The visitors started on the front foot and the disparity in league positions was obvious but the hosts were having none of it and they slowly but surely played their way into the game. After 10 minutes it was not so obvious which side was 20 points + ahead of the other. On 30 minutes Bilbrook took the lead through their number 10⚽,deservedly so on the balance of play and were denied a second,the ball rebounding off the crossbar. Gornal improved following the goal and levelled on 40 minutes⚽.
Gornal were a much better side after the break,enjoying long periods of possession without seriously troubling the keeper; indeed,it was their own keeper who brought off two incredible saves to deny Bilbrook. A scrappy game ensued with multiple free kicks but no further goals.
Credit to both teams for the energy, commitment and sweat on display(something rarely seen in the Premier League).Individual credit must go to the hosts for a gritty display, matching their better placed league opponents in every department.
