LIVE EVENT- Great Barr Harriers vs Walsall Warriors Match report



With Much anticipation for this cup game. There were clear nerves in the air from kick off. With Great Barr fielding a very strong team they were very confident from the offset and that confidence paid off in a 3-1 win over Walsall meaning they moved on to the Quarter finals.



The game started very quickly with Great Barr falling behind in the 4th minute due to an own goal from the Left back Kyle Figgs. Figgs then turned that disappointing start into a good performance when he raced down the left wing to provide a cross for the prolific Conor Byrne to score. The game was end to end but it was changed by a red card for Walsall Centre back for a cynical last man tackle on Conor Byrne.



Walsall held on in the first half but were quickly 2-1 down in the second half when Kyle Figgs again crossed into the box to the onrushing captain Bradley Gun who headed into the top corner. Matt Hendrals 60th minute strike was enough to seal the win for Great Barr as they progressed into the next round of the cup.



Great Barr will be happy to progress and best of all not have any injuries or suspensions as their next league game is crucial if they want to stay in the promotion race.
