Town trounce Tividale

Lye Town were the surprise winners of the weekend in the West Midlands Premier Division after hammering high-flying Tividale 3-1 at Stourbridge Road thanks to goals from Ashley Greenaway, Lee Edmunds and Mark Whitehouse.

Geoff Moss' side will again be at home this Saturday when theyhost Wolverhampton Casuals (3pm kick off).

Dudley Town took full advantage of Tivi's slip up at Lye to move above them in the table.

The Robins are now flying high in third position following their 2-1 win away at Goodrich.

After falling a goal behind against the run of play Dudley showed their title credentials with two late strikes from Daniel Ashton and Justin Nesbitt.

Manager Dean Whitehouse said: "They took the lead against the run of play but we came back well to pick up a deserved three points.

"I was very happy with the way we performed because at times it was probably the best football we've played all season."

Whitehouse admitted he still hadn't finished in the transfer market and was on the lookout for a combative midfielder.

This Saturday, Town will bizarrely play their home league game against Darlaston at Darlaston.

Due to work on the floodlights at their Dell Stadium home, the Robins will be unable to play there until December at the earliest.

Dudley Sports also moved up the league after beating Wellington 2-1, despite falling a goal behind.

Neil Perk's men levelled things up through Chris Howard before having Grant Joshua dismissed.

But the ten men battled on to claim a memorable victory in the dying minutes courtesy of Mitchell Lester.

Sports will be looking to keep their good run of form going when they welcome bottom of the table Bromyard to Hillcrest Avenue on Saturday (3pm kick off).

Brierley Hill and Withymoor are also on a high after picking up a 4-1 home win over borough rivals Gornal Athletic.

Goals from Stuart Hadley, Andy Wright, Brett Haywood and Gavin Winsper sealed victory.

Saturday sees them make the trek to Ellesmere Rangers where they hope to do the double after beating them 8-4 at home in October.
