Bewdley Town 1 Wolverhampton Casuals 3

Saturday, 12th Nov 2022

Bewdley matched up  against Wolverhampton Casuals for the second time in eleven days.  With the game being re-arranged  at short notice Bewdley fielded a much changed line up.   It looked as this made no difference with Bewdley going straight on the attack with Jordan Graham drawing a fine save from Jake Granaghan in the Casuals goal. A sign of things to come! . Bewdley continued to press and were rewarded when Ewan Edwards was flattened in the box and, waving away protestations, the referee pointed to the spot. Top scorer Dylan Hart duly stepped up and thumped the ball home.

The rest of the first half was end to end stuff, and neither side able to break though any further. That was until the 44th minute when Cassie equalised with a fine header from Jack Male.

The second  half started with Bewdley  attacking with fire & verve but they were denied time and time again by resolute  defending and several fine stops from custodian Jake Granaghan. Wolverhampton took the lead  on the 71st with a rocket from Harry Rogers which beat  the diving Hadyn  Whitcombe in the Bewdley goal.  The Cassies wrapped the three points with four minutes remaining when Rogers bundled home after some pinball in the Bewdley six yard box.

It was a disappointing defeat and many thought that Bewdley deserved the win, but  a failure to take chances and great defending & ‘keeping gave Wolverhampton the edge.
