POWICK entertained Archdales in this Nursing Cup semi-final and against a much higher-graded team put in a creditable performance.

POWICK 0, ARCHDALES 2

Powick made a couple of early chances when Steve Hadley crossed for Nick Pullen to head just wide and minutes later Adrian Whittal-Williams kicked a long ball downfield that cleared the visitors' defence for Bryan Craven to shoot just over.

In the 27th minute Archdales were awarded a penalty when a player was pulled down but keeper Adrian Whittal-Williams made a good save.

Archdales took charge in the second half with goals from Andy Wood and Ben Trafford.

Powick enjoyed a number of chances as the game petered out but failed to take any of them.

Man of the match was Adrian Whittal-Williams.
