Around the League<br />

The Premier Division is taking shape with Shifnal Town and Bewdley<br />

Town leading the way with maximum points from their opening 4<br />

games.<br />

Shifnal travelled to The Aspray Arena and returned to Shropshire with a<br />

2 goal win against Dudley Town. Brad Sharma and Rees Wedderburn<br />

were both on target. The Shiffers played the final 30 minutes with ten<br />

men after Harry Cunningham saw red. Bewdley are in second spot on<br />

goal difference following a comfortable 4-0 home win against<br />

Wednesfield. Luke Morris gave them the lead on the stroke of half<br />

time followed by second half goals from Dylan Hart, Aaron Stubbins<br />

and Ben Priest.<br />

Worcester Raiders bounced back from last week’s set back at<br />

Shawbury with a 3-2 win against struggling Bilston Town at Queen<br />

Street. Kevin Nickle on 51 minutes and from the penalty spot and<br />

Shaquille Lee were on target for the Steelmen, but Roland Krol<br />

continued his hot goal scoring streak with a brace, Aaron Drake was<br />

also on target for the visitors.<br />

Today’s visitors <strong>Black</strong> <strong>Country</strong> Rangers slipped to fourth following an<br />

unexpected 2-1 home loss against Bridgnorth. Anwar Ologbun and<br />

Ben Robinson were on target for the visitors whilst Kayelden Brown<br />

netted for Rangers who finished the game with 10 men after Joe<br />

Burroughs saw red. Littleton edged home 2-1 against Shawbury with a<br />

last minute winner from former Stourbridge and Lye Town midfielder<br />

Ben Billingham. Jake Young gave the visitors the lead but a Billingham<br />

penalty and his late winner inflicted a first defeat of the season on<br />

Shawbury.<br />

Wolves Casuals have yet to concede a goal. A single second half goal<br />

from Kieran Cook was enough to settle the points against Pershore.<br />

Former Darlaston striker James Quarry netted the only goal of the<br />

game at Hazel Lane as Wolves Sporting beat Cradley Town. Lewis<br />

Haughton and Zidan Sutherland goals gave Smethwick Rangers the<br />

points at Dudley Sports.<br />

In Division One it is great to see Willenhall Town doing so well. After<br />

years of adversity I am delighted for Chairman Simon Hall and<br />

his wife Sharon that the Lockmen sit proudly top of Division 25
