Bromsgrove Sporting’s last home league game of the season ended in a heavy defeat from title favourites Walsall Wood 4-0.

First half strikes from Murray, Taylor-Boyce and Danny Forrest saw second place Walsall Wood up 3-0 at the break with Sporting a man light after Roberts’ sending off inside 15 minutes. The visitors were able to see off the remainder of the second half to earn all three points.

It was the home side though who supplied the first good effort of the game when Andy Nicol’s free kick brought a good diving save out of Walsall goalkeeper Dale Faultless.

But the Rouslers game was made even harder when defender Arron Roberts was shown red for the second time in 2 weeks after handling the ball inside the box. The initial penalty was saved but the rebound was squared back across the box for Murray to tap the ball into the net.

Sporting’s game went from bad to worse three minutes later when the lead was doubled. Taylor-Boyce ran into the far right of the box and fired a powerful shot towards the goal. The ball took a deflection of Sporting’s Gleadow that directed the ball into the net.

Walsall continued to mount the pressure with a string of chances from Bilgimer and Taylor-Boyce. The away side eventually found their third ten minutes from the break thanks to a superb curling effort just inside the near edge of the box from Danny Forrest.

Bromsgrove couldn’t get back to grips with the game after the sending off. The only other effort for the home side was a Nick Harris free kick that was saved by the Walsall goalkeeper.

The start of the second half was a very dull affair with the majority of play just being an exchange in possession in the midfield area.

Bromsgrove goalkeeper Tom Savage postponed Walsall’s fourth when he made a fantastic clawing save to deny substitute Anthony Juxon thirteen minutes from time.

Walsall did eventually get their third inside added time. Walsall’s free kick was laid off to defender Craig Deakin who struck the ball just inside Savage’s right hand post from outside the box to give the away side all three points.

Walsall still have nine games in hand over third place Sporting and three over first place Littleton. Bromsgrove’s promotion hopes were ended a while back now but they can still end the season on a high with three points against Pelsall Villa on Tuesday evening.
