Cradley looked lively from the start with Thomas Fairclough and Ben Finch quickly closing down the Welland play. Cradley passing the ball well and playing some excellent football, came close to scoring on a few occasions with some shots from Ben Finch and Thomas Fairclough, their chances however were well dealt with by the Welland goalkeeper.

Welland attacked well but their efforts were dealt with by a solid defence of Max Middlebrook and Isaac George alongside some good saves by Kurt Poppleton.

Cradley started the second half much the same and deservedly took the lead when following some good work by Kieran Harte, who impressive in midfield, fired a powerful shot which was fumbled by the keeper and followed up by Thomas Fairclough.

The second came shortly after, when following a good move from a corner Ben Finch swung in a great ball from the left for Josh Davies to fire home.

Cradley had chances to go further ahead with a cracking header from Thomas Fairclough just going wide and some fine shots from Ben Finch who provided a strong performance throughout the match. However it was Thomas Fairclough who clinched the third following some good individual play and an excellent run finished well to make it three.

Thomas - Led the line well and scored 2 goals
Max - another good game at the back
