Sikh Hunters

was not cleared by the Darlo defence and Christopher Campbell was on hand to drive
home from 8 yards beyond goalkeeper Pra..
excellent approach play by Bolzon.
Manager Andy Parkes response
was immediate making two
subs=tu=ons inside 5 minutes
aEer the first goal bringing on Alex
Solomon and Daniel Bolzon for
Ryan Kingdon and Connor Asbury
respec=vely. Immediately the
subs=tu=ons brought new energy,
quality and pace to the home side
and the arrears were reduced in
the 63rd minute, Mark Swann
scoring from 6 yards aEer some
The goal gave Darlaston new life as they went all out for the equaliser. A Mark Swann
header went inches wide and Daniel Bolzon was within inches of connec=ng with a
near post header following a Sam Causton cross. Darlaston were on terms in the 68th
minute with a superbly worked goal. Bolzon beat two defenders before laying the ball
off for Alex Solomon who had only been on the field for 12 minutes on his home
debut. The midfielder latched on to Bolzon's pass with a superb curling effort from
the edge of the box beyond keeper Gibbons to send the large home support ecsta=c.
The quality of the equalising
goal was excep=onal, but it
was eclipsed 5 minutes later
with a move which would've
graced any level of football.
Bolzon started and finished
the move, picking the ball up
in his own half he glided past
three defenders, laid the ball
off to Swann just inside the
penalty area, Bolzon
con=nued his run into the box and Swann's return pass was perfectly weighted for
Bolzon to run onto and unleash an 8-yard drive for the winning goal.
The final quarter of the game was well managed by a now confident Darlaston team
limi=ng the visitors to long range half chances whilst running the clock down to secure
a second-round =e between the winners of Bilston Town and Alvechurch when the
game is played on 26th September.
