Town put in a superb all round performance to lift the Worcestershire Senior Urn for the second year in a row.

From the kick off both teams were giving their all and whilst Bewdley looked the classier outfit Alvechurch just edged it in terms of possession and they made that possession pay taking the lead after 15 minutes.

The Alvechurch lead lasted less than two minutes.  A rocket from Craig Webb found the back of the net to level the score.  Webby’s celebrations demonstrated that he has a promising career as a Morris Dancer when his foot balling days are over.

Bewdley looked dangerous going forward and just five minutes later took the lead a pin point cross found the head of Dan Flowers who gratefully put the ball in the back of the net.

Just when you thought things couldn’t get any better, they did.  Ten minutes from the end of the first half a Richard Burgess corner found the head of Captain Fantastic, Sean Wright, and he powered the ball into the back of the net.

Half time and Bewdley went in 3-1 up.

As might be expected Alvechurch came out in the second half determined to reduce the deficit.  Whilst they had the majority of possession they failed to create any clear cut chances thanks to some superb Bewdley defending.

Once again when Bewdley did attack they looked dangerous.  Second half sub Russ Godfrey with virtually his first touch of the ball sent over a cross that had the goalkeeper scrambling to get it out from under his crossbar.  Godfrey had another chance but put his shot wide.

Richard Burgess did find the back of the net again but had his effort disallowed for a foul on the goalkeeper.

Alvechurch continued to pile on the pressure but things took a turn for the worse for them when they had a player sent off in the last five minutes for a second bookable offence.

Credit to them they kept trying and did pull a goal back with virtually the last kick of the game.

Immediately after the restart the ref blew his whistle for full time and the celebrations began.

Commiserations to Alvechurch they never gave up and took a full part in a very good game.

Bewdley went to Dudley Sports to play their penultimate match of the season.

In a goalless first half Bewdley were the more creative but still had Darren Steadman to thank for keeping them in the game.

Dudley Sports started the second half the better of the two teams and took the lead.  As in the cup final this seemed to wake up Bewdley and they took control of the game.  The equalising goal followed a moment of controversy when the referee and linesman ruled that a Bewdley Cross had been taken over the line and a corner was awarded to town.  The passage of play following the corner saw a cross headed in by Richard Costello.

Dudley Sports continued to protest about the decision throughout the remainder of the game and had a man sent off after the final whistle for protesting to much.

As far as the game was concerned Bewdley were the better side and should have taken the lead on several occasions.  Chris Hough missed an easy chance and Costello sent a rocket header just the wrong side of the post.

Final Score 1-1.

Bewdley went into this game with several first team regulars missing.  Playing with three at the back and five in midfield the Bewdley players took some time to get used to this unfamiliar setup.  This led to a very even first half.  However Wolves Sporting took the lead with a superb volley that left goalkeeper Steadman with no chance.  Bewdley played some neat football but were unable to convert it into chances and at half time went a goal behind.

Right from the start of the second half it was obvious that Bewdley had rediscovered their fighting spirit and equalised when Sean Wright shot through a goal mouth scramble to find the back of the net.

From the moment that they equalised their was only ever going to be one winner, with Bewdley a class above their opponents.

Town took the lead through Dan Sinton when he made a powerful run towards goal, beat a couple of defenders and unleashed a shot that found the corner of the net.

Sporting were unfortunate to go down to 10 men when having played all of their subs, one of them sustained a hamstring injury and had to be taken off.

Bewdley’s third came via the boot of the ever impressive Robbie Orme when he unleashed a shot from the edge of the box.

Chris Seekings rounded of a fine team display when a defensive mix up left him unmarked to put the ball in the back of the net.

And so a long hard season comes to a close with a final victory, another trophy in the cupboard and fourth place in the league....not bad at all!

Three games in a week, three times Bewdley have gone behind, three times they have fought back to get something out of the game.
