Haughmond take hold in title race with victory over Malvern

The Shropshire outfit produced arguably their best performance of the campaign so far to register their 10th successive win in all competitions.

A devastating display at Sundorne Sports Village saw the home side secure victory thanks to a brace from Adam Davies with Scott Graham and Steve Hole also on target.

The result leaves Haughmond sitting pretty at the top of the table, with a five-point lead over Wolverhampton Sporting Community. Haughmond are next in action tomorrow night when they host county rivals Shifnal tomorrow night.

Shifnal and Bridgnorth played out a 1-1 draw in an entertaining Shropshire derby on Saturday.

Shifnal started well and almost took the lead after only two minutes, when Toby Lumbard's cross for Tom Hill saw his looping header come back off the upright.

Bridgnorth then started to dominate with Shifnal keeper Tom Whittaker producing some fine saves. However, Shifnal took the lead with virtually the last kick of the first half when George Williams' free-kick from deep was only half-cleared, and Toby Lumbard pounced to fire into the bottom corner of the net from 25 yards.

Bridgnorth equalised on 69 minutes as Shifnal failed to clear and ex-Shifnal man Liam Bood lashed home from the edge of the penalty area.

Wellington Amateurs put the disappointment of defeat to Dudley Sports behind them with a 3-1 win away at Gornal Athletic. That result moved the Oakengates-based side up to joint third in the table alongside Malvern.

In Division One, Wem Town secured a 2-0 victory over Old Wulfrunians to banish memories of their 5-0 defeat to Wednesfield the week prior.

Newport Town remain second in the table after a dramatic 3-2 win at Kington Town.

After failing two goals behind, a Jordan Turton brace got the Shropshire side back on terms.

And then Shane Thomas popped up with a little under 20 minutes remaining to complete the comeback and earn his side all three points.

The result leaves Newport sitting second in the table, eight points behind Hereford Lads Club.

St Martins' clash at Team Dudley was postponed.
