Smethwick Sikh Temple 2 Bromyard Town 0

BROMYARD joint manager Mike Pugh described his team's West Midlands League Premier Division showing against struggling Smethwick as: "Definitely our worst performance of the season in a game in which we did not get one single shot on goal."

With the wind at their backs in the first half Bromyard dominated territorially but failed to threaten the home goal because they either gave the ball away or were too easily robbed.

In an effort to ginger the team up, Bromyard introduced all their substitutes after the break but this had little effect.

Within five minutes of the restart, Smethwick took the lead when Wayne Lawley ran through unopposed to fire past a stranded Dean Smith.

The Bromyard goalkeeper saved his team from an even more embarrassing defeat with a string of fine saves as Smethwick pounded the visiting defence.

However he could do little to stop Smethwick adding a second goal when the Bromyard defence failed to clear a cross into the box, the ball falling kindly for Michael Lloyd to make sure of victory.
