Decided to go to this game even though the weather was a little inclement to say the least! Eagle Valley was swept by a bitingly cold wind and occasional driving rain! Well done to all the lads for entertaining us so well, despite the conditions.
Spent the game in the company of Keith Parnill and Danny Staley, Kev having decided this game wasn't for him....

PAT LINDLEY put Handsworth ahead in the 10th minute, jumping well to head home a Jack Williams free-kick. Arnold battled against the wind and rain in an attempt to pull level, but the visitors defended well and the teams went in for a well deserved cuppa without any change to the score. H-T 0-1
CARTER MPWAYA doubled Handsworth's lead on the hour mark, finishing well after latching onto a ball in from the right. On 75, LUKE BROADBENT made it 0-3 with his first kick of the game after coming off the bench, then 5 minutes later DANNY GORDON hammered a 25 yard free-kick home to give the home team a little reward for their efforts. The young Eagles also hit the post soon after, but the visitors held on and took the points back to Sheffield with them. F-T 1-3
