square the ball to the oncoming Andy Hudson who had just Morris to beat which he<br />
did with ease.<br />
Darlaston did not lie back<br />
and in the 16th minute<br />
midfielder Dave Richards had<br />
a shot blocked on the edge of<br />
the area and a Lucas Hough<br />
header was saved by Rhodes.<br />
The home side capitalised on<br />
their period of pressure<br />
equalising in the 20th<br />
minute, a pass from leD back<br />
Ryan Jones behind the<br />
Bromyard defence lead to a<br />
race between Bromyard’s keeper and Darlaston’s forward Leon Taylor, Rhodes won<br />
the race, but whilst sliding on the wet surface dropped the ball which Taylor collected,<br />
ran wide, bea=ng the keeper and two covering defenders with a fine finish.<br />
ADer such an exci=ng and<br />
evenKul 20 minute the<br />
remainder of the half<br />
descended into a midfield<br />
ba;le. Both sides cancelling<br />
each other out. Both teams<br />
were looking to get the ball<br />
wide at every opportunity,<br />
however as the condi=ons<br />
deteriorated it became<br />
difficult to play out on the<br />
flanks of the pitch rather<br />
than through the middle. The only efforts of note in the remainder of the half were<br />
two off target Bromyard efforts from Martyn Smith and Liam Hodges who were both<br />
proving a handful for the Darlaston defence.<br />
The second half started very much the same as the first with an early goal going the<br />
way of the visitors who took the lead for the 2nd =me. Andy Hudson picked the ball<br />
up just inside the Darlaston half and was allowed to run 30 yards unchallenged before<br />
unleashing an 18 yard powerful drive which forced Darlaston keeper Aaron Morris<br />
into a fine save, but he could only push the ball to Bromyard’s winger Dalmacio<br />
Francisco who followed up to pounce on the rebound and score from close range.<br />
