DUDLEY Sports let a 2-0 lead slip from their grasp and were finally forced to settle for a 2-2 draw at early season West Midlands League Premier Division pace-setters Wellington.

Goals from Liam Morris and Dominic Strevens put Sports in command at half-time but late strikes from Dave Price and Saul Thomas meant a share of the points.

Joint Sports boss Tony Gore said: “Before the game, I would have gladly taken a 2-2 draw, but in the end we were disappointed not to get the win.

“In truth, it was probably a fair result, because we had the advantage of a strong wind in the first-half and I think that played a big part in the game.”

Sports were able to call upon Luke Williams who has returned to the ranks following a short spell at Lye Town.

Gore said: “We’re not looking to bring anyone else in at the moment.”

Sports were due to have a midweek friendly with Tividale before entertaining Wolverhampton Casuals in the league on Saturday.
