Brierley Hill 2
Bromyard Town 1
ALTHOUGH Bromyard played some good football in difficult conditions, Brierley defended well and took their chances to win this West Midlands League Premier Division mid-table clash.
The visitors adapted well to the heavy going, playing the ball out of defence and nicely through midfield, only to fail when they got near the home penalty area.
Bromyard striker Andy Crowther saw his sharp strike well saved, and minutes later Danny Hilditch climbed well to a corner but headed over the bar.
Brierley grabbed the opening goal in the final seconds of the half when a long clearance out of defence bounced awkwardly to deceive defender Danny Williams, Adam Winwood pouncing to force the ball past goalkeeper Adie Hipkins.
Undeterred Bromyard continued to hold sway but again failed to capitalise on good approach work.
Brierley went two up when Bromyard again failed to deal with another long clearance, Daryl Beale forcing home from close range.
Teenage substitute Andy Hipkins gave Bromyard hope when he controlled a cross from Williams to fire home, but although the visitors pressed for an equaliser Brierley packed their box to claim the points.
