Willenhall were given a thorough work-out by the youngsters from Stoke Heath YOI, but ultimately went on to a comfortable win.  Former Red-Boy Andy Dunkerley scored the opener for his full time employers, displaying a burst of speed and deft finish which he showed rarely last season to open the scoring on 9 minutes.  A clearly stung Willenhall replied immediately when a break down the wing saw Mitchell Fellows finish comfortably.  The keeper made saves from Fellows and Chrissy Bladen before he then saved a penalty when he guessed right to keep out Ansel Gale's penalty on 20 minutes.  On 26 minutes Willenhall stormed ahead when Dean Humpage rampaging run took him from one box to the other before feeding Mitchell Fellows to double his and Willenhall's tally.  Fellows fired just wide before Dan Chatwood had two efforts at the keeper.  On 36 minutes, the lead was stretched when Ansell Gale thumped home via the under-side of the bar.  Fellows then had two more efforts saved before Gale also forced a save from the overworked home custodian.

Fellows again went close before a fourth goal wa added on 51 minutes.  A storming run down the left flank by Ansel Gayle saw an excellant header from Andre Martin back across the keeper and into the corner.  The home team bounced back with a debatable 68th minute penalty before Dean Humpage showed his defensive qualities blocking an effort from a corner on the line.  On 75 minutes Chris Bladen restored the three goal margin, his sweet strike flew into the corner of the net before anybody had time to move.  It was six on 83 minutes when Jamal Pinnock fired home from point-blank after his initial effort was blocked.  However, the home side finished the scoring with a peach of a goal.  A high ball was chested up in the air, allowing a turn and volley in one sweet move to rocket past Mark Fullwood in the home goal.
