Match Report<br />
Darlaston Town (1874) 6 Wellington Amateurs 0<br />
West Midlands (Regional) League Division One<br />
Saturday 15th December 2018<br />
With several games postponed due to the poor weather conditions Darlaston<br />
returned to the top of the West Midlands Regional League Division One with<br />
their biggest win of the<br />
season an emphatic 6-0 win<br />
against Wellington Amateurs.<br />
Before the game members of<br />
Darlaston Town's Under 12s<br />
team presented a cheque for<br />
£200 to local fundraiser Geoff<br />
Johnson and Royal British<br />
Legion Poppy Appeal Regional<br />
Organiser Alison Bates as a<br />
donation for the money stolen<br />
during a recent break in at the<br />
club where monies scheduled<br />
for the appeal were stolen.<br />
The donation was supported by funds donated by the club, local donors and<br />
opponents Wellington Amateurs.<br />
In the wind, rain and freezing conditions 74 hardy souls saw their side adapt<br />
to the conditions<br />
immediately by taking a<br />
first minute lead. An Alex<br />
Solomon shot was parried<br />
by keeper Scott Hoof,<br />
Leon Taylor was first to<br />
respond, he beat a<br />
defender before drilling<br />
home from 6 yards.<br />
With the visitors in<br />
disarray Darlaston missed<br />
several early chances to<br />
double their lead. Noah<br />
Diallo had two efforts<br />
saved by Hoof and Isaac<br />
Cooper cut in from the<br />
left drove the ball across the face of goal and eluded by inches the<br />
unmarked Alex Solomon at the back post. Wellington responded<br />
with long range efforts from Steve Faux and Jake Challenor.<br />
