MONDAY MAGIC  Bewdley Town FC 2 Studley FC 1 - A late goal deep into injury time saw Bewdley “smash and grab” all three points in a hard fought game at Ribbesford Meadows. Whilst plenty of good football was played by both sides the teams went in at the interval with the game still goalless .

The second half was more hotly contested but Bewdley took the lead when Dylan Hart controlled and swivelled to slot the ball past the Studley keeper on 52 minutes. The game ebbed and flowed and Studley got back on level terms on 65 mins with a good strike. The game became bad tempered at times and a pivotal moment saw a Studley player sin binned for dissent with about 10 minutes left on the clock.

The Bewdley coaches opted to make a couple of strategic changes and the Riversiders pushed on many times in the closing minutes and finally on 96 minutes, Stanford Stewart who had come off the bench surged into the crowded penalty box and kept his nerve to prod the ball past the advancing  Studley keeper and send both the fans and players into delirious celebrations and Bewdley move up to 8th in the MFL Premier Division as a result of the win.
