Piers - great runs from midfield
Ben - great goal

Cradley started lively with some excellent passing and movement and had a few chances early on denied, with Piers Kirk-Patrick Jones and Ben Finch in midfield linking up well and efforts from Josh Davies and Thomas Fairclough, Cradley should have taken the lead within the first few minutes.

Droitwich also had a good run with a good long range shot which was well saved by Kurt Poppleton. However the goal came towards the end of the first half which following a good run down the wing Ben Finch provided a cracking ball in from the left which proved unstoppable by the keeper.

Cradley continued to press for another before half time and were unlucky with a good chance again from Finch who turned with a volley which just went past the post.

Droitwich started the second half the brighter and had some chances themselves but with some good defending from Max Middlebrook and Isaac George held on to the lead, until following some good play Droitwich had a good shot which ended in a goal.

Cradley provided an entertaining display and were unlucky not to score with some good chances by Josh Davies and Thomas Fairclough who worked hard up front and provided some good balls in but despite the chances at either end in the second half the scoreline remained one all.

Josh - battled well
Thomas - good chances up front
