Rushall Olympic 2-0 Stourbridge - Report
Rushall Olympic came out on top on Derby Day as they drew out 2-0 winners against Stourbridge at Dales Lane.
Despite the game starting slowly, Stourbridge started to apply the pressure and forced Jake Weaver into a huge stop to deny Darryl Knights.
Ex-Pic Tyler Lyttle ,who scored numerous goals from set-pieces during his time at Rushall, hit the underside of the bar from a free-kick on the edge of the penalty area.
Rushall’s only real chance of the half came before the break as Sam Mantom fired wide on the half-volley.
The Pics came out in the second half with the bit between their teeth and eventually managed to open the deadlock.
After claiming the ball from a corner, Weaver’s long kick landed in a dangerous area as a lack of communication between Demico Brown and Charles Price resulted in Brown heading the ball into his own net.
Amongst all the celebrations however, there was a pause in play for a significant period of time due to Brown sustaining a serious injury in the collision with Price and had to be stretchered off the pitch.
Minutes Later, The Pics doubled the lead.
A strong break from Jourdain Masidi down the left flank found Andre Landell who powerfully fired the ball into the far corner to keep the three points at Dales Lane.
