Lee Hooper, Dale Humphreys, Alex Smith and Mike Cole all had shots go wide with the keeper beaten and it wasn't until two minutes from the end that the victory was assured when Lee Hooper ran through and squeezed the ball past the Kinver keeper. Credit must go to the new back three of Peter O'Conell, Matt Lane and Andy Shaw who made sure keeper Dean Watson was rarely troubled.
