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.
