FULL TIME: Cradley Sports 3 - 0 Oldbury Park Stripes

The game started pretty even with both sides passing the ball well and coming close to scoring, but it was Cradley who created some good play particularly from Ben Finch and Josh Davies in midfield.

Following some good passing Josh Davies broke free to fire home a cracking shot to make it one nil and then followed up in quick succession with number two.

Oldbury continued to battle but Cradleys defence of Max Middlebrook and Isaac George proved solid.

The second half saw much of the same, Cradley played some lovely football and came close on several occasions to scoring, especially from some good work from corners by Josh Davies and Ben Finch.

Cradley continued to press forward before following a good delivery into the box Ben Finch finished well to make it three. Josh Davies was unlucky not to complete a hat trick whilst at the other end Cradleys goalkeeper Kurt Poppleton pulled off a fine save to ensure Cradley kept a clean sheet.

Max - solid in defence
Kurt - played well in goal
