Stafford 2 Rushall 1 - Report and pictures
Stafford Rangers held on with 10-men for most of the second half to clinch a 2-1 victory over local rivals Rushall Olympic
However, it was the Pics who took a 10th minute lead when Ash Sammons chipped a ball through and Ben Lund fired his side ahead.
Their lead lasted just six minutes when a corner was pinged around the box and Dan Burns fired the ball home for the Boro.
Rangers went ahead on the 24th minute with Theo Bailey-Jones attacking down the left before finding Ethan Stanton who saw his deflected effort fly home.
Despite having the lead Rangers’ task was made a tough one when they were reduced to 10-men three minutes into the second half when Burns pulled back Ben Lund and was shown red.
Rushall looked for a leveller and would have had one after an hour but for a brilliant Adam Whitehouse save to deny Danny Waldron.
The visitors kept probing until the end and Richard Brodie saw his close range effort blazed over and they had an effort cleared off the line.
