Other Points

Team played extremely well during the first 25 minutes with plenty of movement - good work-rate; good defending and excellent counter-attacking.

Concentration lapsed during the last few minutes of the half while Carl Gough was off the field with an injury during which Silverdale scored two goals.

Wyrley managed to force several corners in the first half. However, the second half saw Wyrley losing possession repeatedly as they advanced forward. This culminated in midfield players lofting long balls forward to the forward players (Adam Nicholls & Anthony Briggs) which were easily mopped up by the Silverdale defence.

Jason made a couple of cracking saves in the second half - especially right the end where he pulled off a superb save against a Silverdale striker who was through on goal.

Team faded in the second half due to lack of fitness.
