Perhaps Mr Referee you could Explain ,Or at least Book A Visit To Spec Savers Thanks Ref Half Time Score Redditch united (0) Tudors (0) Second half The Redditch players again closed down the Tudors attack time and time again, Both teams defending excellently throughout the half There was a big shout for a penalty as a Redditch defender made a save that his own goal keeper would have been proud of but again missed by the referee the only person who didn't see it and declined to award a penalty Again the Tudors attacked getting a shot on target only to see the Redditch Goal Keeper pull off a top Draw save to deny The Tudors a Goal ,Tudors Laurie Walker also Standing up well against the Redditch attack until the 85th Minute A shot struck from outside of the 18 yard box eluded Laurie Walker cannoning off the bottom of the post into the path of Sammons who made no mistake and buried the ball into an open net, in the 85th Minute Redditch (1) Tudors (0) Tudors again straight into the attack the Redditch goal area looking like a WWF Tag match with bodies flying in every direction desperately defending their Goal, Tudors attacked in wave after wave but could not find a way past the Redditch Defence Who held out until the final whistle to take all three points courtesy of the Referee who had earlier ruled out a legitimate Goal also denied the Tudors a penalty But Hey Ho Onwards & Onwards To The Next Game I have to give my congratulations to Redditch United you gave us one hell of a battle, Keep playing like that and you will go far, Good Luck for the rest of the Season Micky_G1947
