In his best performance of the season to date, Thomas Fairlough started the match in a strong lively way that continued throughout and helped Cradley on their way to a good result against a team which is high flying in the league.

Thomas closed the play immediately from the off and linked up well with Ben Finch and Josh Davies to provide some chances which were well saved by the Oldbury keeper. Oldbury also pressed forward but Cradleys defence dealt with their chances well with Isaac George proving unbeatable with his pace and well timed strong tackles.

Cradley deservedly took the lead when following a good ball in from Ben Finch, Josh Davies finished well to go into half time one nil up.

Cradley started the second half with some fine football but Oldbury continued to press for an equaliser which came from a corner, Kurt Poppleton was unlucky after getting a hand to the ball but the scoreline was then one all.

Cradley were unlucky not to win the game with further efforts from Thomas Fairclough and Josh Davies. An all round great team performance from Cradley.
