Tamworth Men's Seconds Vs Bloxwich 3

Top of the league Tamworth Mens 2nds bounced back after a loss last week with a crucial win Vs Bloxwich.

A fiery match on an ice cold day, Tamworth took the lead through a short corner routine seeing Jez Holloway fire the ball to the back post and Rob Busby pounced to fire the home side into the lead.  Bloxwich held the ball well and played nicely through midfield and looked dangerous on the build up, this led to an equaliser towards the end of the 1st half which saw a tame shot trickle its way into the back of the net, leaving the away side on the ascendency.

The 2nds half was ebbing and flowing and chances fell both ways with neither side looking like they would nick it.  Eventually Tamworth produced that moment, when James Goode played a through ball into the D and Dave Belson pounced to lift the ball over the outcoming keeper to take the home side 2-1 up!  The game lost its flow through some discipline issues for both sides in this heated contest.  In the final moments of the game Jez Holloway dispatched a glorious short corner strike to send the home fans wild as Tamworth took the 3 points as the game finished 3-1.

Great fight and determination by the home side, and a superb performance by youngster James Whittaker saw him crowned Man of the Match.
