Frickley Athletic 0 Rushall Olympic 2

Rushall Olympic won their first game of 2016 on the road at Frickley Athletic in the Evo-Stik Northern Premier League.

Despite Frickley having the majority of the possession in the first-half, it was the visitors who capitalised when they had the ball, scoring twice in two minutes just before the break.

Luke Benbow and Josh McKenzie saw efforts fly off target early on for the Pics and a Jake Heath cross was almost turned in by Alex Reid, who just couldn't stretch enough.

The hosts got into some dangerous positions without really hurting Rushall, who took the lead on 41 minutes as Benbow volleyed in with his left foot from 18 yards.

Just over a minute later, it was 2-0 as Benbow turned provider for Reid to slot into the same corner from 15 yards.

Reid had two good chances early on in the second half, but missed the target with the first effort and then the second lacked any real power.
