On a bitterly cold morning at Pelsall E.D.C Wyrley started very slowly against Cresswell Colts and were 1-0 down within 2 minutes as a long range Cresswell effort left Jacob with no chance as the ball ended up in the back of the net. This sparked the Tigers into life, Josh.P won the ball, passed to Charlie who then and passed to Luke on the halfway line, Luke beat three Cresswell players, rounded the keeper and dispatched the ball into the back of the net to make the score at half time 1-1. The second half started similar to the first and Cresswell managed to take advantage of not being closed down and beat Ryan twice to leave the Tigers 3-1 down. Kyle, Finley and Evan started to get the ball forward to Josh.S and Ethan who were unlucky not to score after a neat one two. A throw from Ethan was then cleared to Kyle who hooked a ball back into the box and Jacob headed back accross goal for Evan to prod home and make the score 3-2. Cresswell were now camped in their own half and when the Tigers won a throw near the corner flag Kyle took a quick throw to Evan who smashed the ball hard and low left footed into the Cresswell net to bring the score level at 3-3. The remaining minutes were played out in a midfield battle between the two teams and the score ended Wyrley 3-3 Cresswell Colts. Man of the Match: Evan Kuzmicz
The Tigers second game was against Red Star Raiders. The first half was an end to end encounter with Ethan keeping the Tigers in the game with some quick thinking and great saves. Josh.S and Kyle formed a good partnership up front and were unluckly as a neat one two move saw Josh.S shoot agonisingly wide. Jacob, Josh.P and Finley worked hard to break down the Red Star attacks as Luke nearly opened the scoring with a sweet left footed strike that went wide. Half time score 0-0. Charlie went in goal for the second half after suffering an injury in the first half and did a fantastic job. Evan won every single tackle that he attempted and worked hard up and down the pitch. A ball from Evan caused confusion in the Red Star defence and Ethan never gave up, winning the ball back and shooting at goal, only to be denied by the post. Wyrley pushed everything into their forward moves and got caught three times leaving them 3-0 down. The Tigers forward line of Kyle and Josh.S caused the Red Star defence problems, with Ryan being denied after being put through one on one with the keeper. The next attack saw Wyrley get a goal back as Kyle passed to Ryan to volley the ball past the diving keeper. Full Time score Wyrley 1-3 Red Star Raiders. Man of the Match: Ethan Lavender
