Win for Halesowen at The Oval

Pitching In Southern Football League Division One Central rivals Bedworth United and Halesowen Town met in a behind-closed-doors friendly at the Oval on Saturday.

The Yeltz fielded three un-named triallists in their starting line-up ahead of a friendly `double-header` with the Greenbacks making the reverse journey next weekend.

The visitors had a golden opportunity to take an early lead when Simeon Cobourne was fouled in the area. However, Jack Holmes` spot-kick rattled the post and bounced to safety.

However, one of the Halesowen triallists broke the deadlock and then Cobourne added a second to make it 2-0 at the break.

The second half saw the usual plethora of changes and Bedworth reduced the deficit when Mitchell Piggon converted a penalty midway through the half.

But another of the Yeltz triallists added a third to make it 3-1 in the end.
