HALF TIME: Cradley Sports 0 - 0 Droitwich Spa Hawks
FULL TIME: Cradley Sports 0 - 0 Droitwich Spa Hawks
Jack - strong in midfield
Piers - another good game

In a game which both sides were well matched throughout provided an entertaining last match of the season.

Both teams started lively and there were chances at either end. Cradley had more of the possession in the first half and were unlucky not to score with efforts from Thomas Fairclough.

Cradley attacked well with Jack Bilby providing a strong performance in midfield alongside Josh Davies and Ben Finch.

The second half saw Droitwich lift their game and they were unlucky not to take the lead but keeper Kurt Poppleton pulled off some good saves to deny them. With Piers Kirk-Patrick Jones having another solid performance in defence and some productive work in midfield from Ben Finch Cradley continued to press for a goal which they were unlucky not to get.

The game could have been won either way within the final few minutes with Droitwich hitting the post and then their keeper pulled off a great save to prevent a long range powerful shot from Ben Finch.

In the end a draw was a fair result for two battling performances by both sides.
