PEGASUS Juniors have given themselves a chance of avoiding relegation in the West Midlands Premier in the final round of matches.

Peggy earned themselves a lifeline on Tuesday night thanks to a 2-1 victory over Shifnal Town pulling them out of the bottom two.

George Andrews' lobbed shot earned his side a 35th minute lead only for the visitors to level three minutes later.

With the 'must win' game looking like ending a draw, with three minutes remaining Owen Weston-Giles cut inside and curled the ball home.

It broke a run of six defeats on the bounce and leaves Mick Panniers side outside of the bottom two and one of three sides who could still finish inside the relegation zone with Pegasus travelling to sixth place Ellesmere Rangers on Saturday.

On Saturday Pegasus fell to a 5-2 defeat at the hands of Wednesfield with the hosts conceding three goals in the last 14 minutes.

"It has been the story of our season that we stay in games for 70 minutes and then they get physically outmuscled in the last 20 minutes," said Panniers following Saturday's defeat.

"We concede 75 per cent of our goals in the last 20 minutes which is frustrating, we have such a young side but you can't use that as an excuse. Our oldest player is 23 and sides in this league are quite clever and we get overpowered.

"Our defending isn't the problem but we're not scoring enough goals as we have conceded the least goals out of the bottom six teams but have scored the least.

"It's all about taking are chances and we had three or four in the first half on Saturday and took two of them. Kyle Panniers who plays centre-half has got 14 goals while the next has got five which tells you really where the real problem has been.

"After the first 10 games we had one point and we were under no illusions of the massive task to stay up but we gave ourselves a fighting chance and needed to win our last two games.

"It is the bottom two to go down but in most previous years only one has gone down with clubs shifting into other leagues or dependant on the winner of Division One meeting the ground requirements.

"But we need to look at it that the bottom two will go down and we need to be out of that. If we get relegated it's not the end of the world especially with a young side and will be looking to do what Lads Club did and come back."
