New team Cradley Sports Club started their first season in the Mercian Boys League U9's in excellent style with a 4-0 away win against Oldbury Park Stripes.

The match started with good attacking play from Cradley with Ben Finch scoring a long range short followed by Taine Lochhead firing in from close range to make it 2-0 in the first 10 minutes.

Cradley continued to attack well but Oldbury's keeper pulled off some fine saves, however just before half time following some good movement and passing Ben Finch again scored a long range shot to make it 3.

In the second half Oldury pushed forward with a few shots going just wide or being well saved by Kurt Poppleton in the Cradley goal.

Cradley continued to drive forward but again had many shots well saved, until following some good work by Piers Kirk-Patrick Jones, Josh Davies was released to fire home number 4.
