A goalless stalemate that was anything but stale ended the Bucks’ 100% home record, although a return of one point from two Bank Holiday games is a disappointing one for Kevin Wilkin’s side.
In truth, given the positivity shown by the visiting Halesowen side, this will probably be viewed as a point gained rather than two lost. The Yeltz won promotion to the division last season and having made an unbeaten start to the campaign arrived full of confidence and were backed by a noisy following.
Wilkin had to make a couple of changes to his team, Brad Bood making way for the return of Steffan Jones and George Forsyth included in midfield in place of the injured Byron Moore. In the second half, that threat intensified significantly, as the Bucks faded in the final third. Miracle Okafor, the Yeltz no.9, was a real handful but was policed well by Fraser Kerr and Orrin Pendley. Midfield substitute Nathan Hayward was far more influential than the player he replaced, Josh Hawker, and he stroked a shot wide to serve warning to the Bucks.
They won corners that put the Bucks back line under almost ceaseless pressure, and in one crazy period they had four goal attempts blocked by some last-ditch, bodies on the line defending from the home side.
