pass, his left footed diagonal finish from 12 yards beating the keeper Hoof. Darlaston had a glorious opportunity to add to their goals tally on 57 minutes. Some excellent dribbling skills by Diallo saw the midfielder burst into the penalty box as he eased past 3 defenders, unfortunately the ball got trapped under his feet before he could get his shot off and the visitors eventually cleared the danger. A minute later Cooper again went close this time cutting inside and curling a right footed effort inches past Hoof's left-hand post. The continual pressure on the visitor’s defence paid further dividends on 64 minutes Cooper adding his second of the afternoon converting a Daniel Bolzon threaded pass behind a static Wellington defence to finish from 15 yards. Despite Wellington being five goals down, they continued to play football from the back through the midfield areas. But Darlaston’s defence were in charge, not letting the visitors pass led by captain Glasby and his central defensive partner Ryan Jones, with Luke Charlton and Ashley Evans out wide. keeper was called into action with a fine diving save but the visitors attacks were now rare, and it was only a matter of time before the home side scored again which they did on 72 minutes. Ashley Evans made progress down the left cutting inside two defenders before driving a low and hard cross into the penalty area for Leon Taylor to convert at the near post from 10 yards out. A good game played in difficult conditions but in excellent spirit was marred on 75 minutes when Wellington centre half Jeff Watkins threw the ball at Diallo, Diallo reacted, and a brief melee ensued with both players being sent off. The rest of the game was played out in good spirit both managers making changes but neither side created any clear-cut chances. Darlaston’s unbeaten run now extends to six games with 16 points from 18 and with Droitwich Spa and Worcester Raiders both without games Darlaston returned to the top of the table. 26
Around the League Well we enter 2019 with all still to play for. Whilst it is fantastic to start the year in top spot it still remains very tight with Worcester Raiders displacing Droitwich Spa in second spot following a 4-2 home win against Spa last Saturday. Destroyer in chief was Richie Smith with a hat trick and a Luke Molloy goal for the Raiders whilst Matt Hunt and James Lemon were on target for Spa. Sikh Hunters kept the pressure on the top three with a 3-2 home win against Bromyard Town. An early sending off for Bromyard did their cause no good as Hunters raced into a 3-0 half time lead courtesy of a Tyrone Atkinson penalty and two goals from Dan Jones. Bromyard rallied in the second half despite the score line Hunters were comfortable winners. Team Dudley remain in fifth spot, edging home 2-1 against Wyrley. Ben Mantom gave the home side an early lead before Tom Green equalised for Wyrley. Jack Bailey netted a second half winner for the students. In the Shropshire derby bottom club Telford Juniors hosted Wellington Amateurs losing to a single goal. Last season’s Division One top scorer Chris Brown opened the scoring for Bustleholme at Tipton Town but former Darlaston striker Scott Broadway equalised on 56 minutes. Bustleholme secured all three points 8 minutes later, Oliver Clarke heading home from a corner kick. In the only other Division One game Allscott beat Willenhall Town by the odd goal in three. The <strong>Wrens</strong> <strong>Nest</strong> v Newport Town was postponed following the resignation of Newport’s management team the day before the fixture. In the Premier Division Tividale continue to sweep away all before them as they followed up an 11-0 win against Smethwick with a 6-0 away win at Cradley Town which saw the leaders maintain a 14 point gap at the top. Unbelievably Cradley had the best of the opening 30 minutes before Darragh Bustin converted a penalty for the visitors. The second half was a different story as the flood gates opened for Tividale. Bradley Welding converted a free kick on 50 minutes and 27
