A game in which 5 first
half minutes won the game for Leigh & Bransford.
Cradley started well with
some good play and some good defensive work by Isaac George and
Piers Kirk-Patrick Jones. But on a poor pitch Cradley's keeper
was unfortunate that following some good saves, Leigh & Bransford
scored 3 goals in quick succession.
Cradley battled back well
and should have scored with a good chance from a corner.
The second half saw Cradley
play well and their hard work deserved a goal but the Leigh &
Bransford keeper pulled off some fine saves.
Leigh & Bransford should
have increased their lead but Cradley kept the socreline respectable
with some good saves from Kurt Poppleton and some poor finishing
from the home side.
