LICHFIELD CITY FC 1 BROCTON FC 1
Brocton FC went in to this match with a 100% record out of their six game league start but with be more than happy to return home with a point after a good home performance by Lichfield City. The homesters began the brighter and pushed forward for the early goal which didnt come to some good defending or the final ball just being the right option at the right time.
After 19 minutes, it was the Badgers who took the lead, when PAUL MCMAHON lifted the ball over the City keeper. City kept to their game plan in closing the vistors down quickly and not allowing them anytime on the ball to settle and became more confident and in the 42nd minute felt they had levelled things up, but the Brocton Keeper had other ideas with a superb triple save to keep this side in front at the interval.
With Lichfield playing down the Brownlow slope and towards the club house end this gave them a great lift and began to play some nice football down both wings, but man of the match Woodhouse in the Brocton net was as equal to anything the home side could throw at him.
On 74 minutes, the home pressure finally paid off when DANNY WORRAL steered home a loose ball from inside the area. Lichfield pressed forward for a winner but it wasnt to be their day to take all the points.
