An afternoon out with the Godson who wanted to see his local side saw us at Queen Street to see Bilston Town beat Chelmsley Town 3-0 in a match that didn’t mean much as Chelmsley were safe from relegation and Bilston 9th. Bilston overpowered an unenthusiastic Chelmsley and scored three easy goals all in the first half including one from a mistake by their defender that gifted the Bilston forward and easy chance once he had rounded the keeper.

The string wind made it a game that was poor on quality and also reflected this is a Tier 10 match. Some of the players on both sides could do with more fitness and also think about the game a bit more – why boot the ball in the air when it’s blowing at 50+ mph?

Considering the very wet weather of late, the Queens Street pitch was in good condition and the wind howling round the ball-netting surrounding the ground sound like a scene from a Hitchcock film.

Overall though, a good day out with the Godson for the first time in a while and since the pandemic and his cancer difficulties.
