Match Report

League leaders Kingswinford must have been confident they would win this game having completed an easy win in the reverse fixture earlier in the season by 5-2. And they gained more confidence as the game started, with control of possession and two early goals.

This 5ths team though are nothing if not resilient, and the two goals scored in the previous game gave us hope we might be able to get into it. And so it proved as a very youthful looking Chan scored a goal against the run of play.

K'ford began to show signs of frustration as repeated attacks ended in misses or saves by Dilworth who I think we can say had rather a curate's egg of a game.

However in the second half they managed to extend their lead and it looked like they would put the game to bed. Wulfs decided the best tactic was to just give penalty corners whenever the opposition got into the D. This worked well as they seemed unable to score from the set piece.

Wulfs still managed to get forward with Ray finding space on the right; Peter supported by Duhra junior and that sprightly Chan causing some menace. Incredibly Chan bagged two more to leave K'ford looking dazed.

All in all it was a super game played in a good spirit.

Man of the match: Harj after a great battle with exiled Old Wulf Billy J.
