Lye Town v Worcester City
0 1
An excellent game for the neutral at the Sports Ground,Stourbridge Road Lye where the two teams provided 90 minutes of cracking entertainment.Lye started this as one of only three unbeaten sides in the league and their record looked to be in jeopardy early on as the visitors seemed to hold the upper hand with their crisp passing game.The hosts spent the first 15 minutes defending in their own half as City poured forward at every opportunity but ever so gradually they worked themselves into the game without actually having a direct shot on goal and the half ended all square.
On the hour mark the visitors took the lead with a well-worked goal; a pass down the right gave Danks plenty of time to cross and Reynolds wrong-footed the keeper. This did nothing to deter the hosts as they upped their game searching for an equaliser and they got it on 70 minutes with a superb header,only for the referee to disallow it for an infringement only he was aware of. From where we were it looked a perfectly good goal..City certainly didn't sit on their laurels and defend,far from it and as the game wound down,they drew numerous free kicks from the home side.
Credit to both sides for providing terrific entertainment.The non-league game looks to be in rude health.
