Halesowen Town 1 Bedworth United 3
Halesowen are all but down and out of the Premier Division Central after slumping to a disastrous home defeat against already-relegated Bedworth.
Yet the Yeltz made the perfect start and took the lead after just 16 seconds when Jamie MOLYNEUX burst forward from midfield into the penalty area and blasted past Bedworth goalkeeper James Fogg to put Halesowen ahead straight from the kick-off.
As the lively start to the game continued, Alex Troke’s 2nd minute half-volley was well saved by home goalkeeper Dan Platt and Platt then collected a low shot from Lewis Noon in the 11th minute.
Molyneux had another couple of goal attempts for Halesowen midway through the first-half but plucky Bedworth refused to lie down and ended the first half strongly as Lewis Noon’s 34th minute free-kick was scrambled away from Will Harris in the danger area. The Greenbacks then equalised after 37 minutes when the Yeltz defence failed to clear Bedworth’s pressure, allowing TROKE to place the ball past Platt from 15 yards.
Just before the interval, Halesowen’s Aaron Gilpin cut inside to fire wide after 39 minutes and at the other end, central defender Kieran Morris denied Chekaine Steele in the 43rd minute.
Molyneux had further efforts for Halesowen at the start of the second period and Aaron Gilpin slashed another chance wide. Sam Griffiths then planted a header wide at the far post from Enock Ekongo’s dangerous 70th minute right-wing cross. But in reality Halesowen lacked composure in front of goal and never looked likely to build on their promising early advantage.
The Greenbacks pushed on to take the lead in the 75th minute when TROKE slammed home his second goal from the penalty spot after Griffiths bundled substitute Lewis Collins to the ground.
Bare-bones Bedworth piled on Halesowen’s agony with a third goal in a first minute of injury time comedy of errors after Platt slipped when trying to control Ekongo’s back-pass and let in STEELE to slot home from a tight angle to hand the visitors their best win of a tortuous season.
