Bromyard 0 Dudley Town 3 DEFENSIVE mistakes again proved costly as Bromyard slipped to their 10th West Midlands League Premier Division defeat of the season.

After an even start, Bromyard, who generally gave an improved performance, gifted the visitors their first goal after a defensive mix-up.

The home side went on to enjoy long spells of dominance but, two minutes before the interval, they gave away a needless free-kick on the edge of the area which appeared to deceive goalkeeper Aaron O'Malley on its way into the net.

After the interval, O'Malley produced a string of fine saves as Dudley got on top.

This kept Bromyard's hopes alive until the 76th minute when a Dudley cross was deflected by Adam Ward into his own net.
