In an entertaining game, Cradley got the game off to a cracking start with some excellent attacking play which saw Josh Davies take on Malverns defence before firing home a terrific shot.

Cradley continued to attack before Ben Finch had a long shot which although the keeper got a hand to proved unstoppable making it two.

Taine Lochhead and Max Middlebrook were productive in midfield to put Josh Davies through to score number three. Malvern had some good chances which were dealt with by Cradleys solid defence and some good saves by Thomas Fairclough.

The start of the second half saw Josh Davies taking on the defence and completing his hat trick with a cracking finish to make it four.

Credit goes to Malvern Town who continued to battle and following some good play scored two in quick succession and then following a Cradley error were allowed to score number three which made an interesting and tense final few minutes. Cradley however held on for the win they deserved.
