Player News

​

HALESOWEN TOWN FOOTBALL CLUB can confirm that Richard Smith has now recovered from his ankle injury which has kept him off the training ground for over a month.

We have allowed Rich to dual register with Worcester Raiders so he can get back to full fitness, have some much needed match time, and after a month or so assess the situation to establish where we are at before making any further decisions about bringing him back in to the fold, or extending the time with Worcester Raiders, if that is the best option for us both.

Northern Premier League Midlands Division
Saturday 21 January 2023 – 3PM

Halesowen Town FC, The Grove, Old Hawne Lane, Halesowen, B63 3TB

Adults £10, Concessions £7, 13-18 Year Olds £4 (With a membership card), Under 12’s £1 (With a paying adult)

Halesowen Town Football Club, Will now get ready for their next league fixture at The Grove this weekend as we host play off placed Boldmere St Michaels.

Last time out, The Yeltz were at The Grove as we took on Gresley Rovers, after both teams had a couple of chances each it was The Yeltz who netted the opening goal in the 10th minute from Cobourne, Halesowen could have had more goals in the first half hitting the post and side netting a few times and making the visiting keeper pull off a class save, and we went into the break with a 1-0 lead.  Second half the Halesowen boys started quickly and just five minutes after the restart Kelly made it 2-0 in front of a packed out Shed end.  With the atmosphere at The Grove loud and proud it spurred on the boys to keep attacking and in the 85th minute Insall made it 3-0, to take all three points and a clean sheet in front of another 1,000+ crowd. The Yeltz are top of the league with 51 points having picked up nine points in their last five league games.

Last time out for Boldmere,  they were at home against Sutton Coldfield Town it took Boldmere until the 29th minute to find the opener and it was ex Yeltz man James Bowen to take the hosts into the break with a 1-0 lead.  Second half in front of a crowd of 437 looked to be ending with just a one goal but Alex McSkeane found the net in the 90th minute and then Andre Brown seconds later to make it 3-0.  Boldmere are currently in 5th position just inside the playoffs, having picked up 8 points in their last five league games.

Lets get The Grove full of Yeltz noise again this weekend and help the Halesowen boys push on and keep our unbeaten home form going.

Match Report

Halesowen moved back to the top of the table on goal difference following a comprehensive three goal victory against Gresley, writes David Johnson.

Joint-managers Martin Sockett and Craig Nicholls were delighted with the day’s work. Martin felt “it was a professional performance. We also played good football creating lots of chances and sent everyone home happy. The Gresley goalkeeper made three of four top drawer saves.” Craig added “the sticky surface made it a bit difficult, but our back three were also tremendous today in front of another superb attendance.”

The Yeltz started well and created a host of chances in an enterprising first half. A great 6th minute flick from Ash Sammons set up Simeon Cobourne but Gresley goalkeeper Lewis Fenney made a good blocking save and Fenney then made a good low save from Richard Gregory three minutes later.

The opening goal soon arrived in the 10th minute after Josh Ezewele made a fine run into the penalty area and although Fenney saved once more, COBOURNE was on hand to plant the rebound home for a much-needed goal.

For Gresley – on their first visit to the Grove for a league game in almost ten years – Kane Lee cut the ball back for Daniel Munday to fire over the bar in the 14th minute. But with continued home pressure, Cobourne fired into the side netting in the 15th minute and Cobourne set up Gregory to see his final shot blocked two minutes later.

Gresley goalkeeper Fenney continued to be in excellent form and he made a superb 18th minute double save to prevent a second Yeltz goal. Firstly he kept out a Sammons shot from the edge of the area and secondly clawed the ball away after Gregory met the rebound. McKauley Manning’s 27th minute low shot then drifted just wide and Gregory laid the ball off for Sammons to fire over the bar after 38 minutes. Just before the interval Fenney made yet another terrific save to keep out Nathan Hayward’s low shot.

The Yeltz continued the search for further goals just after the interval when a clever ball from Tom Turton found Cobourne but his final ball just evaded Kieren Donnelly. A well deserved second goal finally came when the resulting 50th minute corner fell for defender Nat KELLY to turn and his shot slowly deflected into the net for his first goal of the season.

For the Moatmen, Bekir Halil fired a 54th minute free-kick over the bar and Munday’s 63rd minute weak shot was collected by home goalkeeper Dan Platt. Josh Quaynor then cleared off the line from Gresley substitute Kieran Wells in a better spell for the Moatmen.

As the Yeltz then pushed on again, good crosses were played across the penalty area from both substitute Greg Mills and Manning. Mills also delivered another good cross for substitute Jamie Insall to strike just wide in the 79th minute. The Yeltz made it 3-0 in the 85th minute when Gregory weighted a neat ball for Manning to square the ball for INSALL to tap home from close range.
