CRADLEY Town clinched a cracking 3-1 win over high-flying Pegasus Juniors this week.

The prolific partnership of Scott Devlin and Chris Bladen both struck against, taking their total tally this season to 20 already while Alex Mallen made it three.

Cradley's Director of Football Marcus McDonald revealed: "I had to change the formation because we were missing midfield players Martibn Hill and Luke Williams who were both unavailable, Hill being suspended while Williams was ill".

It proved a stark contrast to last Saturday's 4-1 defeat at Shawbury United where McDonald claimed: "Everything that could have gone wrong for that game did. We were always struggling from the moment Martin Hill missed his lift".

Cradley clash with Dudley Town this Saturday in a West Midlands League fixture, which is effectively a full dress rehearsal for the following week's FA Vase clash, taking place at the Dell Stadium.

Sandwiched in between is a Tuesday night trip to improving Dudley Sports.
