A waterlogged pitch isn't a great Pitch to play on but at this level the players just want to be getting match fit. A friendly game between two local rivals served up a treat. Great Barr Harriers edged a 5-3 game in the not ideal conditions but a win nonetheless. With striker Conor Bynre scoring all 5 for The Harriers it was very easy to pick a man the match.
The game started in a quiet fashion with no side able to conjure up a chance. Soon Great Barr were up 2-0 after a quick-fire double from Conor. Hamstead then took the lead after scoring from 3 corners. But Conor Byrne made sure the game ended 5-3.
Interestingly after the game both sets of fans went down to the local Pub and drank together which I thought was very interesting as rival team fans don't normally get along.
Although the friendly also brought about some bad news, the waterlogged pitch meant that many players were getting injured and captain Bradley Gun for the Great Barr Harriers gained a twisted knee in the 5-3 win.
