Halesowen edge number nine derby over Stourbridge in front of 3,000 fans
Halesowen completed the double and lifted the Brookes-Clark Shield with a narrow victory in the number 9 derby in front of a bumper crowd of 3,150, writes David Johnson.
Yeltz manager Paul Smith reflected on the victorious battle played on a sticky surface. “We controlled the game, defended brilliantly and could’ve put the game to bed with the penalty. To do the double over Stourbridge is a great achievement. It was important to be big and strong today, though it was not one for the purists.”
