Both teams started lively with some good attacking play, however it was Cradley who looked the liveliest with a good chance by Josh Davies and Thomas Fairclough both being well saved.

Cradley continued their efforts and were rewarded when following some good individual play Ben Finch put a cracking ball through for Josh Davies who finished well.

Despite further chances at either end the first half finished one nil to Cradley.

The second half saw some changes to Cradleys line up and formation which provided some entertaining play, Ben Finchs long range shot just skimmed the cross bar and Taine Lochhead was unlucky with an effort well saved by Malverns keeper.

Cradley continued to press and Josh Davies made it two following another good ball in by Ben Finch.

Cradleys further chances were dealt with by a good defensive performance by Malvern and some fine saves by their keeper to prevent the scoreline increasing.
