Shifnal Town took the lead on 15 minutes when a corner from the left dropped inside the six yard box with Shifnal's C.Wilson reacting quickest to tap home.

A good Hanley passing move involving F.Pattinson, L.Porter and J.Twyford ended with Corey Muirhead goalbound shot blocked. Shifnal were unable to clear a corner with Hanley's Kyle Stubbs 18 yard shot being parried over the crossbar.

Half-Time:
Shifnal Town 1 - 0 Hanley Town:

Early in the second half Hanley's C.Middleton close range shot was saved by Shifnal keeper Wycherley. Minutes later Shifnal and a great chance to go further ahead when a Corns throughball sent Landell racing clear only to fire narrowly wide of the Hanley Town far post.

A Shifnal low freekick from the left saw the ball hit a Hanley defender falling straight at the feet of Shifnal forward Jarman who stabbed a shot against the Hanley post. Hanley keeper Caleb Clothier produced a brilliant save parring away a curling Kwaasi shot.

A high tackle by Shifnal striker Landell on Sant resulted in the Shifnal player being shown a red card. A Sant cross found Phillips at the back post his header was tipped over by Wycherley in the Shifnal goal. Hanley levelled with 12 minutes to go when Kieran Brown headed into the roof of the net from a corner.

Hanley keeper C.Clothier made a good save at his near post to deny Shifnal's K.Edwards. A superb K.Lazenby run down the right holding off a couple of challenges before playing a neat one/two with J.Twyford and firing a shot heading into the roof of the net before Shifnal keeper Wycherley tipping over the crossbar.

Hanley got the winner with virtually the last kick of the game a Davante Ramsey cross was not cleared the ball falling for Lewis Porter to volley into the top corner of the net.
