With the issues off the field reportedly causing disharmony within the club Mickey Moore’s side responded remarkably well against fellow mid-table side Willenhall Town.
Goalkeeper Tony Breeden was named ‘Man of the Match’ after making three glorious saves in the first twenty minutes. The in-form goalkeeper made two at full stretch; tipping the shots around the post and the other a superb block from a low drive, with the Willenhall number nine, Gibbons, missing the subsequent rebound.
Three minutes after the restart Solihull went in front with a superb header from Jack Byrne following a pinpoint cross from the left hand side by Steve Ruck. Five minutes later Tony Breeden made another fine save from Willenhall number ten, Martin, sending the ball round the post again at full stretch.
Solihull's second goal came in the 67th minute when Steve Rucks free kick from the right hand side found Richard Adams unmarked at the back-post, but after his first attempt was blocked by the keeper, Coleman, Adams managed to knock in the rebound.
In the 72nd minute a melee in the Solihull penalty area saw four shots, the first by number eleven, Jackson hit his own player, the second hit the post, the third was blocked by Gareth Alborough with the final shot going wide. Four minutes later Tony Breeden was called into action again, with a fierce shot from number eight, Briggs, from 25 yards, which he tipped out for a corner.
Solihull’s next fixture is the return tie, with Willenhall visiting Damson Park on Saturday 24th March, kicking off at 3 o’clock.
