West Midlands (Regional) League Division One<br />
Kington Town 3 Darlaston Town (1874) 3<br />
Saturday 31st March 2018 Kick Off 3 pm<br />
In one of just a few games to beat the weather Darlaston made the long trip to deepest<br />
Herefordshire, just on the border with Wales and came away with a well-earned point.<br />
Unfortunately for the visitors it was a precious two points dropped in their push for a top<br />
two finish.<br />
The Kington ground staff worked miracles to get the game on and whilst the pitch was<br />
heavy and tacky under foot there was no surface water and whilst quality suffered both<br />
teams worked tremendously hard to entertain the supporters.<br />
Darlaston manager Andy Parkes shuffled his pack again, forced into two changes. ScoB<br />
Broadway and Danny Mayne returning to the star=ng line up with new signing Josh<br />
Cooper and Ant Follows replacing them on the bench.<br />
Both sides found condi=ons<br />
difficult at the start, but it<br />
was Darlaston who created<br />
the early chances Danny<br />
Mayne having a shot blocked<br />
by Brian Dyer and Lucas<br />
Hough shoo=ng wide. Jake<br />
Robinson responded for the<br />
home side, but his effort<br />
went tamely wide. Darlo<br />
missed a glorious chance to<br />
take the lead on 12 minutes<br />
when some excellent<br />
approach work by Leon<br />
Taylor sent Mayne clear of the visitor’s defence but the striker sliced his 12-yard shot<br />
wide<br />
Kington's response was immediate as they took the lead two minutes later with a<br />
superbly worked goal. A four man move was rounded off when former Hereford striker<br />
Jamie Davies clipped the ball home from 6 yards conver=ng a Jake Robinson cross. The<br />
home side missed another chance three minutes later to double the score Davies this<br />
=me could not convert the chance.<br />
