Haughmond face last-day shootout for title
Haughmond are second favourites for the West Midlands Premier title going into the final game of the season – but promotion is still on the cards via the back door.
The Shropshire side are one point behind leaders Tividale after both tasted victory at the weekend.
Haughmond hope county neighbours AFC Bridgnorth will do them a favour next weekend, but they face a tough game against a rejuvenated Dudley Town side themselves.
Even if Dan Williams’ side do come second, they can still win promotion.
“Bridgnorth are a local side, and hopefully they’ll want to do us a favour,” said Williams. “Based on the table, and based on everything we know, we expect Tividale to win.
“But they did slip up the other week to Dudley Sports which we didn’t expect.
“Unfortunately for us ours is a 50/50 game. Dudley Town have really improved, they’ve signed some players and they beat Wolverhampton Casuals 3-1 the other week, who are the best side we’ve played. It’s not one you’d pick if you need three points.
“We’ve just got to win and hope for the best. We’re pretty sure we’re finishing second place.
