Alport Reserves 2 Church Stretton Town 0
A solid performance from Alport saw them topple the league cup finalists.Alport took the game to stretton and went a goal up inside the opening minute.George Haller's corner kick was headed back across the 6 yard box by Jordan Maclean and defensive partner Stu Bailey headed home from close range.Alport dominated the early period of the game and almost increased their lead when Christian Langdon played in Mike Sutton whose left foot strike just missed the target.Stretton started to get a grip of Alport's midfield later on in the first half and caused the Alport defence some problems,with their pace and trickery in the wide areas.Alport keeper Wilkinson produced several fine catches from a series of Stretton corners to keep his team ahead at half time.
The second period continued to be a tight affair with both teams firing shots from outside the penalty area wide of the target.However in the 75th minute Alport claimed the all important second goal.Haller's free kick was headed onto the cross bar by an unmarked Stu Bailey and Maclean was first to react and thrashed the ball into the roof of the net,from close range.Stretton threw caution to the wind and pushed players foward but with mom Andy Batchelor and defender Andy Edge in top form they could find no way through.As the game entered the final stages Alport really should increased their lead with Jordy Kennedy,Craig Groom and Alex Dunne all going close with strikes.

Ketley Bank 2 Alport Reserves 1

The second half started well for Alport and it was no surprise that they equalised in the 60th minute,when George Hallers' wicked inswinging corner deceived the Bank keeper and landed in the back of the net.Alport created several more chances with Langdon and Haller firing just wide of the target and a Jordan Maclean header cleared of the line.Bank also had chances and Wilkinson had to be alert to push a fierce strike just round the post.Alport's resistance was finally broken,late in the game, when Mcgivern fired into the top corner after a partially cleared corner fell kindly for him.

Wellington Amatuers Reserves 2 Alport Reserves 2
An entertaining end to end match,played in a cup tie spirit, ended with both teams sharing the points.Alport raced into two goal lead with strikes in the 20th and 30th minutes. Firstly, Alex Dunne slotted the ball through the keepers legs and into the back of the net from 10 yards after Rob Brassington played him through on goal,and then George Haller latched on to a Matt Morris pass and scored with a neat side foot finish from 12 yards, after a superb 40 yard run.Morris then had a great chance to make it 3-0 but saw his effort narrowly miss the target,after jinking his way into the penalty area.Ams had several chances of their own and Alport keeper Ryan Wilkinson,had to be on top form to tip a fierce 18 yard shot over the bar.From the resultant corner kick Alport survived a goalmouth scramble,with Morris eventually clearing the danger.
The second half started badly for Alport,with Ams scoring twice inside the opening 10 minutes.A quickly taken free kick in the 55th minute caught Alport napping and Jones made no mistake from just inside the penalty area and then a Spittle back post header from a corner kick drew the teams level.Alport recovered from this set back and really should have gone onto win the game.They showed all their battling qualities and Mike Sutton twice,Morris,Langdon and Haller all went close to scoring but found the Ams keeper in top form.Those missed chances could have proved costly and only a superbly timed penalty area tackle from mom Pete Eley prevented Ams from sneaking a winning goal.
