Tividale 1-0 Wolverhampton Casuals

A better showing

A showing of hard work and pure effort was required in this fixture because a repeat of the display that was served up three days ago against Atherstone Town was going to end with the same result. This on paper was going to be a game of attrition and is what it was as both sides battled their way through the 90 plus minutes.

After Saturday’s game Stuart made another 4 changes to his Boxing Day line up. This time resting Zac Kourouyianni, Jack Till, Dominic Dell, and Max Morris and in came the returning duo of Jakob Burroughs from a three game ban, Cody Mullan, Ewan Evans, and Cameron East.

Casuals had the first effort on goal after 4 minutes when a Dalintin Ticha effort went wide of Louis Connor’s post. In the 9th minute Jakob Burroughs found Ewan Edwards but his shot was well saved by Casuals keeper Stan Amos.

With 21 minutes on the clock Casuals were awarded a very soft free kick. Casuals defender Joe Clarke headed it into the 6 yard box and after a goal mouth scramble Connor got hold of the ball. Ryan Snape then went close with a Tividale free kick on 38 minutes that went just wide of Amos’s upright.

As Tividale upped the pressure at the close of the first half, an Edwards shot was well held by Amos.

Half Time:-Tividale 0-0 Wolverhampton Casuals

With chances hard to come by Casuals had a great chance to equalise in the 56th minute when a corner started another goalmouth scramble but again the home side survived and cleared the danger.

In the 79th minute came the goal, and it came via the penalty spot. Casuals Reece Taylor was adjudged to have brought down Snape in the area and the winger got up and duly despatched the spot kick.

The rest of the half went the way that the game had panned out with no real chances until the 90th minute when the ball broke kindly for substitute Till but with just Amos to beat, he fired straight into the keepers arms.

Atherstone Town 3-1 Tividale

A Poor Show

This game was done and dusted in the first 45 minutes as Tividale produced their worst performance since the defeat at Highgate United back in October.

With the busy Christmas period coming up and two games in 3 days, Stuart again rang out the changes, in came Dominic Dell, Max Morris, new signing Jack Till and the returning Ryan Snape, in place of Cain Smith, Ewan Edwards, Lewis Taylor-Boyce and the absent Cody Mullan

Tividale made the worst possible start, when in the 2nd minute from Atherstone’s first corner of the game some shocking defending allowed Jake Brown first to a loose ball and he forced the ball home.

Tividale then had a three penalty appeals turned down in the space of 5 minutes, two against Taylor Townsend and one against Jack Till as they all went down under challenges and for his troubles Till got booked for diving.

Atherstone’s Ryan Quinn then dragged a shot wide after 15 minutes. Then on 25 minutes they doubled their lead. when Jake Brown beat the Tividale high line and he pulled the ball back to the edge of the area, again Tividale had chances to clear their lines but failed to and Gabe Webster fired past Louis Connor in goal.

Tividale’s first shot of the game came a couple of minutes later when Dell did well in holding the ball up for Townsend, but his shot was deflected wide by a defender and from the resulting corner Joe Hawkins headed over.

On 30 minutes Tividale brought it back to 2-1. When Townsend was brought down just outside the area and Snape’s free kick was spilled by Atherstone keeper Finn Osborn and Tividale skipper Zak Kourouyianni smashed the loose ball into the roof of the net.

As the game moved into stoppage time Atherstone regained their two goal advantage when a mishit Ryan Quinn cross evaded Connor in the Tividale goal and nestled in the back of the net.

Deep into first half injury time and Atherstone nearly let Tividale back in when a defensive header back to the Osborn, looped over him but fortunately for the keeper it landed wide of the post.

Half Time:- Atherstone Town 3-1 Tividale

On 54 minutes it was Atherstone’s turn to have a penalty shout as they were adamant that there was a Tividale handball in the area but again the man in the middle waived away the appeals. Atherstone’s Lewis Collins then had a dipping effort that Connor watched all the way and hung on to.

On 80 minutes the home side missed the chance of the game when substitute Harry Jackson was through one on one with Connor, but he dragged his effort wide.

So, in the end there was no addition to the first half score and Tividale will be disappointed with their afternoons work.

Tivi bow out.

.In a very tight game played on a very heavy pitch two instinctive finishes, sandwiching a superb strike ended Tividale’s FA Vase journey for the 2023-24 season.

This game was actually played at the third attempt of asking after it had been postponed on the previous 2 Saturday’s It was tough on Ashby Ivanhoe that according to the competition rules the game had to be switched because there was no way The Beeches would have been playable either.

Tividale had the best of the opening half hour, and it took a great challenge from Macauley Holmes to prevent Ewan Edwards the opening goal after just six minutes, and later in the half, Sam Taylor produced an outstanding save, flying to his right to instinctively turn a goal bound Lewis Wright strike over the crossbar.

Ivanhoe took the lead with virtually their first sight of goal. Jake Conkay’s corner was poorly dealt with and Will Groocock was first to react to the loose ball, stabbing it home from no more than a couple of yards.

The goal settled the visitors down. Buoyed by their lead, and they looked the more likely to get the next goal in the final 10 minutes of the half.

Half Time:- Tividale 0-1 Ashby Ivanhoe

Tividale made a change at half time bringing on Ryan Snape in place of Taylor-Boyce and inside 10 minutes , he brilliantly equalised, cutting inside from the left an unleashing a perfect strike into the top corner.

10 minutes later in the 65th minute and Ashby were back ahead After a flick-on from Taylor’s long goal kick, Grouse found himself beating Tividale’s high line and he unleashed a perfectly weighted half volley, beating Connor over his head and into the net.

Tividale were left stunned but had the majority of the possession in the final 25 minutes. but Ashby’s back four though remained disciplined and held firm, as the home side pressed for a second equaliser.

The cup’s run continues

Tividale continued their cup run’s with another excellent performance from the squad, with this being their 6th cup game in the last 8 and progression in their 4th competition.

Once again Stuart rang out the changes from Saturday’s 2-2 draw away at Stone Old Alleynians, with Tim Beech, Cameron East, Kamol Campbell, Jakob Burroughs, Max Morris and Lewis Taylor-Boyce in for Louis Connor, Joe Burroughs, Callum Gillies, James Douglas, Dominic Dell, and Cody Mullan.

In a very quiet first half where both sides were fairly cautious, there were very limited chances, the best of them both coming from the visitors with both Will Uchenna and Jack Earing failing to find the target.

Half Time:-Tividale 1-0 Walsall

The second half was a different affair chances wise as Tividale stepped up their game and Ewan Evans was the main instigator. First after 47 minutes, going down under a challenge in the Walsall area that the referee waived away all of Tividale’s appeals. Then he was foiled by a brilliant last ditch tackle from Walsall defender Rolin Menayase.

On the hour, Cameron East then tested Walsall’s keeper George Barrett with a shot that he handled comfortably. Then on 64 minutes Tividale took the lead. Keeper Beech, mishits his clearance, but however it turned out to be a great ball as a Dell flick on into the path of Edwards who was left one on one with Barrett and he slid the ball under the advancing keeper.

The final 25 minutes was all Walsall as they pushed forward for an equaliser. First a Piers Juliff cross into the box had the Tividale defence scrambling to clear. Then Beech was forced to turn an effort around the post. A Dylan Thomas free kick then found Menayase, but he headed wide.

Tividale could have made the game safe with two minutes of regular time to go, when a Cain Smith shot, came back off the inside of the post. Still Walsall pressed and as the game went into injury time Beech did well to save a shot from Louie Webb and he was able to claim the ball at the second attempt after stinging shot from Thomas.

In the end after a great game of football it was a win for Tividale against a very good, young Walsall side.
