Sunday's Paycare top of the table clash between Dudley Rangers and Brandhall was decided by a single first half goal in the 37th minute by new signing Jermelle Banner, who unleashed a left foot volley which dipped over the keepers head. Chances were then missed on both sides before half time.
Again chances were missed by both sides in the second half which was dominated by the quality of the defenders.
The Dudley secretary said: ”We tried hard for the equaliser but couldn't finish and so lost to a quality strike and quality team with little between the sides.”
