Wolverhampton Casuals 1 Bewdley Town 2.

Tuesday, 1st Nov 2022

 It was a valuable 3 points on the road for Bewdley in an entertaining game at Brinsford Stadium. The match was in jeopardy due to heavy rain during the day but the referee declared this pitch safe to play on just half an hour before kick off. From the whistle Bewdley settled into playing some great passing football and the possession and pressure was rewarded on 5 minutes when Kyonn Evans headed superbly into the net from a pinpoint Ewan Edwards cross. The visitors threw everything  at Casuals but couldn’t add to the tally before half time , with normally ultra reliable Dylan Hart having a penalty saved on 27 minutes.

As the team re-emerged for the second half, so did the rain.  

Once more Bewdley were instantly into their stride and on 46 minutes they got an all important second goal with Evans grabbing his second on a night when his all round game was very impressive. As the second half wore on the home side changed formation to chase the game and the momentum shifted so Bewdley had to defend resolutely. On 81 minutes Haydn Whitcombe took down experienced Cassies striker Kyle Perry , and the forward picked himself up to drill the ball past Whitcombe from the penalty spot to set up a tense final period of defending for Bewdley. However , whilst missing good chances themselves to kill the game off as Wolverhampton pushed on in numbers, the score line remained 2-1 to Bewdley as the final whistle blew and players and travelling fans celebrated together a well fought victory.
