Buildbase FA Vase Round 2

Sporting Khalsa 0 Bromsgrove Sporting 1

Not only is this a tie between the sides in 2nd and 3rd place in the Premier Division but it also pitches last season

losing quarter finalists with last season’s losing semi-finalists. With Khalsa inbeaten in 15 games, they probably

started the game as narrow favourites particularly as Bromsgrove’s recent away form was patchy. With a big crowd

in to witness the final game at The Aspray Arena for some time as work commences on laying a new 3G pitch, most

people were predicting a tight affair. Khalsa had the first opportunity of the afternoon, David Meese heading wide

from a Carlo Franco cross. In the 6th minute, Liam Holt could have done better, heading a cross over the bar. Khalsa

were finding space down the right with full-back Franco a constant threat. In the 13th minute, Franco created space

and crossed but no Khalsa forward anticipated the delivery and the ball was cleared. A free-kick from Holt was well

delivered into the area and the ball was almost perfect for Tesfa Robinson. Good work from Mykel Beckley teed up

Craig Bannister but his shot was into the sidenetting. Bannister then laid the ball off to Meese, but his shot was over

the bar. After 25 minutes, Bromsgrove finally began to gain a foothold and start pushing Khalsa back. There were

claims for a penalty from Bromsgrove as a shot was blocked by Holt who threw his body in the way with the visitors

convinced he had used his hands. On the stroke of half-time, Beckley wriggled free and his shot flew across the face

and skimmed the far post.

The talk at half-time was that a piece of brilliance or a mistake was likely to settle this game. In the 47th minute, we

were close to the former when Holt hit a speculative volley from 35 yards which was saved by the backpedalling

Reece Francis. Five minutes later, Bannister took a free-kick short to Holt, whose low drive was gathered by Francis.

Both sides were working exceptionally hard, but chances were at a premium. Khalsa through they had broken the

deadlock on the hour mark. They were awarded a free-kick outside the area and Bannister’s effort curled over the

wall and off the crossbar. It was the visitors who opened the scoring in the 70th minute. A wonderful Crossfield ball

from Jack Wilson beat Luke Adams and picked out John Pykett. Pykett had time to centre the ball and the ever-

reliable Jason Cowley was on hand to power home a header. Within a minute, Khalsa had a great chance to level. A

cross from the left-hand side picked out Marvin Nisbett in front of goal but his header was misdirected, and it went

out for a throw in! Khalsa were given a lifeline in the 80th minute

when Nisbett was tripped in the area, the referee having no

hesitation in pointing to the spot. Up stepped David Meese but his

penalty was brilliantly saved by Francis. Nisbett wasted another

chance in the 83rd minute, delaying his shot which allowed the

Bromsgrove defence to block. Within a minute, the visitors could

have sealed the win when Pykett raced through, but Sam Arnold

made a fine save with his legs. The home side through everything at

Bromsgrove but they held firm to take their place in Round 3.

A tight game between two well-matched sides which looked like a

draw from very early on. The goal from Cowley was a piece of real

quality which ultimately settled things.

Review

FA Vase

Last season’s two beaten semi-finalists made it through to round 3 in dramatic fashion. Bromsgrove Sporting

travelled to league rivals Sporting Khalsa and progressed thanks to a solitary Jason Cowley goal in the 70th minute.

Reece Francis saved a penalty with 9 minutes to go to preserve the Rouslers lead. Coleshill Town were reduced to 10

men when Luke Edwards was sent off with the score at 1-1 at home to Blaby & Whetstone Athletic. That didn’t

impact Coleshill as they ran riot winning 8-1 with Jordan Nadat scoring a double hat-trick. Two goals from Luke

Richards sent Hinckley AFC through to Round 3 for the second season in succession as they beat Step 5 AFC

Mansfield 2-0 at St John’s Park. Walsall Wood also put paid to higher ranked opposition, Tony Clarke and Paul

Sullivan scoring twice in a 5-0 win over Holbeach United. Racing Club Warwick made it a trio of Division 1 sides

through to the next round following a 2-1 win over Alsager Town at Townsend Meadow. Coventry United raced out

of the blocks at Quorn taking a 3-0 lead inside 13 minutes. They continued to dominate and went through 6-0 with

Lewis Rankin scoring twice. There was a thrilling game at Silkmore Lane as Shepshed Dynamo beat Brocton 5-3. Paul

McMahon scored twice for the Badgers with Shay Brennan bagging a double for Dynamo. Two first half goals were

enough for Stourport Swifts at Kimberley Miners Welfare, 2-0 the final score. Westfields travelled down to Devon

and returned with a 2-1 victory over Willand Rovers, Richard Greaves and Craig Jones with the goals as they

overturned a half-time deficit. Highgate United beat league rivals Worcester City 2-1 at The Victoria Ground, leading

scorer Marco Adaggio on the scoresheet. Rugby Town and Wolverhampton Sporting Community couldn’t be

separated after 120 minutes with a replay required at Butlin Road. The game was goalless until the 73rd minute but

two goals apiece in 15 minutes sent the game into extra-time. In the replay at Butlin Road, firs half goals from Angelo

Franco and Dmitri Dunkley have the West Midlands Regional League side a 2-0 victory

Premier Division

Boldmere St Michaels are out of the bottom three, Curvin Ellis scoring an injury-time winner in a 3-2 victory over

Heanor Town. Coventry Sphinx are up to 5th, Ryan Harkin scoring twice in a 3-2 win at South Normanton Athletic.

Rocester and Loughborough University shared the spoils in a 2-2 draw at Hillsfield. Lye Town climb to 13th following

a 2-0 win at Stourbridge Road over Haughmond.

Coventry United move up to 6th place following a 2-0 win at Heanor Town. Lewis Rankin and Jak Jeys on the mark

for United early in the 2nd half. Shepshed Dynamo took a 10 minute lead at AFC Wulfrunians but the home side

bounced back to win 2-1, Callum Parker with the winner 20 minutes from time.

Division 1

League leaders Studley were beaten for the 2nd time this season, going down to a Luke Kingsley-Smith goal for

Leicester Road. This means that The Road have now beaten the top two. Heath Hayes made it 47 goals for in 16

league games with a 6-0 win at Nuneaton Griff, Regan Smith scoring twice. The game between the bottom two went

the way of Coventry Alvis, 2-1 at Pershore Town. Cadbury Athletic climbed to 17th following a 3-1 win over Paget

Rangers at The TSA. Uttoxeter Town got back to winning ways, beating Stafford Town 2-1 at Oldfields. A Sam Sadler

goal was the difference as Chelmsley Town beat Bolehall Swifts 1-0 at Rene Road. The game between Coventry

Copsewood and Littleton was abandoned due to a serious injury to Littleton keeper Jack Hartopp with the scoreline

at 2-2.

Chelmsley Town recovered from 2-0 down at home to Uttoxeter Town to gain a point in a 2-2 draw thanks to a

stoppage time equaliser.

Walsall Wood to within two points of leaders Studley with an emphatic 6-0 win at Brocton. It was goalless at half-

time but a quickfire hat-trick from Paul Sullivan sent The Wood on their way. Greg Downes scored twice for Leicester

Road as they moved up to 4th with a 5-1 win over Lichfield City. Just behind them are Hinckley AFC, as Luke Richards

scored twice in their 4-1 win at Heath Hayes. Heather St Johns were another side to score 4, Simeon Cobourne on

target again in their 4-0 victory over bottom club Coventry Alvis. Paget Rangers twice came from behind to seal a

point at home to Pershore Town, 2-2 the final score.

the FA Vase. Highgate United welcome Worcester City to The Coppice, a week after knocking them out of the FA

picked up a good win in midweek. Coventry United have had a good week and they will want to maintain this when

Long Eaton United visit the Butts Park Arena. Bottom side Shawbury United travel to Heanor Town with a gap

beginning to open up at the foot of the table. South Normanton Athletic find themselves in the bottom three and

they entertain Westfields who face the long journey from Hereford a week after their FA Vase success in Devon.

Haughmond are one point outside the relegation zone and they welcome Rugby Town to the Sports Village.

Boldmere St Michaels have lifted themselves off the foot of the table in recent weeks and they travel to The

Dovecote to face mid-table Shepshed Dynamo. Four points from their last two games has lifted Rocester out of the

bottom three but they have tough assignment away to Stourport Swifts.

Beehive. Walsall Wood have scored 11 goals in the past week without conceding and they take this form to Heath

hope to continue this when Lichfield City visit The New Manor Ground. Hinckley AFC had two massive wins this

week and they welcome Stafford Town to St Johns Park. Leicester Road also picked up two wins in the week and

they will expect to make it three on the trot when bottom club Coventry Alvis are the visitors. Atherstone Town

have games in hand on sides around them and they travel to the TSA to face improving Cadbury Athletic. Racing

Club Warwick had a great win in the FA Vase last week and they are back in league action when Bolehall Swifts visit

at Paget Rangers. Likewise, Pershore Town, they can move away from the drop zone should they win at Pack

Uttoxeter Town. 10th meets 12th at 5Acres as Littleton host Heather St Johns.
