Piers - Unlucky with the penalty
Ben - solid in mid field

In one of Cradleys best performances to date was a game in which the score did not reflect the play.

Cradley started the liveliest with some excellent passing and entertaining play, however when Oldbury broke and a good cross came into the box, a penalty was awarded for hand ball.

Piers Kirk Patrick-Jones was unlucky not to save the penalty after getting a hand to the shot.

Cradley continued to pass the ball around well and came close to levelling the score before half time.

The second half saw Cradley press forward for an equaliser but were unfortunately caught on the attack which lead to number two. Cradley should have scored with some excellent balls crossed on the left from Ben Finch into the box and some good play from Josh Davies.

Apart from the two goals Cradleys defence were solid and some excellent saves were made by Piers Kirk Patrick –Jones to prevent conceding further. An individual all round battling performance by Ben Finch in midfield and an excellent team display from Cradley deserved more from the match.
