Tamworth Men's Seconds Vs Wednesbury 1

Tamworth suffered a heavy defeat vs top 3 side.

With a strong side Tamworth produced a below par performance and the game was gone inside the first 20 minutes.

Wednesbury who played some good hockey tore Tamworth apart and found themselves 3-0 ahead inside 15 after some really good fast counter attacking play.

The home side just did not get out of the blocks, and aside from a Simon Bowyer short corner routine which reduced the deficit mid way through the 1st half.  As Tamworth looked like they were just getting going, Wednesbury scored at the stroke of half time and restored their 3 goal advantage at 4-1 half time.

Tamworth rallied and adjusted the formation to counteract the midfield of Wednesbury and were much more in the game in the 2nd half but just could not score – missed chanced from Short Corner routines, and even a penalty flick so them come up dry.

Wednesbury always looked like they were comfortable and extended their lead and the match finished 5-1.  A much better 2nd half from Tamworth, but beaten by the better side on the day.
