WEST Malvern travelled to second-in-the-table Hanley Swan and up until half-time they were doing well.

HANLEY SWAN 6, WEST MALVERN 2

The game opened brightly, with both sides striving to make the breakthrough. After ten minutes, Hanley took the lead with a disputed offside-looking goal.

West Malvern rallied and after 25 minutes they were level, a shot from Anthony Orgee completely deceived the Hanley keeper and bounced into the net. Hanley came back strongly and scored again just before half-time.

The second-half was a disaster for West Malvern. On the 50th minute they conceded a penalty, five minutes later pulling a goal back from Anthony Holder. But then West Malvern once again conceded a second penalty. For the last 20 minutes Hanley dominated the game, scoring two more goals.
