Hednesford Town dominated possession and territory against Shifnal Town, but the hosts held strong with a resolute defensive display. Despite hitting the bar themselves late on, Shifnal created more clear-cut chances, showcasing their resilience.
Kory Roberts walloped the bar early on for the Pitmen who had more power and play without creating much else but the hosts stayed strong and created the better opportunities, hitting the bar themselves five minutes from the end.
Shifnal showed resilience and went within a killer touch of taking the lead in the 32nd minute, Joe Thomas recycling a half-cleared ball to the back post for Kevin Monteiro to glance wide having got the right side of Roberts. Dom McHale flashed wide with a fierce 25-yard strike on the move and Bearne miscued a volley at the far post when a corner dropped to him through the crowd but Hednesford had a lucky escape when ex-Brighton, Norwich and Shrewsbury playmaker Elliott Bennett’s dipping arced effort came back off the face of the bar late on with substitute Tom Hill just unable to sort out his feet to find a gaping net on the rebound.
