1st team - West Midlands Division 2
Kingswinford 1 - 0 Newtown
Goal scorer- Ranjit Bhadal
Kings final game of the season against 2nd place
Newtown proved to be one of the toughest games of the season, with the winner
claiming the championship.
A physical game ensued with several yellow cards and a red card being brandished.
Kings did not have many chances throughout the game but soaked up Newtown's
pressure well. Kings awarded no-nonsense keeper, Dave Adams, the man of the
match for his spectacular but crucial saves to deny Newtown and keep Kings in
the game.
With the score level with 5 minutes remaining, Kings took a free hit 25 yards
out. A deft deflection by Ranjit Bhadal past the keeper gave Kings the break
they needed.
All out defensive work was then employed for the last few minutes to give Kings
3 points and the top spot promotion they have been seeking this season. The
work now begins for Kings to build upon their successes for next season.
2nd team - West Midlands Division 2
Streetly 1 - 4 Kingswinford
Goal scorers - Gurmit Samra 2, Richard Turner 2
Last game of the season and a win would certify promotion for
Kingswinford. Kingswinford started off well with the Streetly keeper making
good saves. Kingswinford dominated the first half with two goals from Richard
Turner and an excellent shot from Gurmit Samra. On the brink of halftime a dribbling
ball from Surjit Takhar setup Gurmit Samra to score the fourth goal .
The second half Kings played their substitutes and started to lack confidence
as Streetly scored their consolation goal. Streetly's attack was broken down
several times by Sati Takhar who was man of the match.
An excellent and well deserved performance managed by team captain,
Sati Thakar taking Kingswinford 2nd team into West Midlands Division 1.
3rd team - West Midlands Division 2
Kingswinford 0 - 7 Redditch
A difficult fixture for Kingswinford as the visitors scored four goals in the first half and cruised through to 7 goals. Kingswinford as a team did not play the game to their ability and as a consequence suffered a heavy defeat.

Aston University 1 - 7 Kingswinford
Goal scorers - Ajay Sandhu 2, Chris Brown 1, Rajinder Kumar 2, Ammo Sian 1, Richard Turner 1
Kings re-arranged fixture against Aston University started poorly.

made it a scrappy game. The score 4-1 at half time.
A much better second half by Kings led to a further 3 goals. Sian and Sandhu
neatly slotting home from close range and a solo effort by Chris Brown gave
Kings the 3 points and guaranteed promotion. Kings face Newtown at home next
Saturday for the promotion showdown to claim the top spot.

Kings must step up their game for the crucial last few games of the season.
