Walsall Senior Cup: Tividale 2 Walsall XI 1

A youthful Saddlers XI were looking to reach the Semi Final of the competition.
A young Walsall XI made the short trip to the Beeches on Tuesday evening as they took on Tividale in the Quarter Final of this season's Walsall Senior Cup.

Made up of players from the club's Under-18s and academy system as a whole, the youthful Saddlers were tasked with taking on a side full of experience and desire to book their place in the Semi Final, with Chasetown awaiting the winner.

The match got off to a quick start with the home side going into the lead with around three minutes on the clock, however Walsall were able to get themselves back on level terms later in the half as Marvellous Onabirekhanlen, who is currently on a one-month Work Experience loan with Worcester City, hit the back of the net.

The scores weren't level for long, however, as Tividale put themselves back into the lead a few minutes later with Harry Lewis slotting past Walsall stopper George Barret from the penalty spot. Penalties continuing to cost the team.

There were no further goals as Tividale earned a visit to the Scholars Ground in the Semi Final at the expense of the Saddlers.
