challenge. Rangers<br />
started to get a foot<br />

Darlaston's defensive<br />
partnership of Liam Smith and Connor Fellows were superb at the<br />
heart of the visitors defence.<br />
Jarad Daniels blazed a free kick over the bar for the home side before<br />
the best chance of the half fell to Darlaston's Daniel Bolzon on 35<br />
minutes. Some excellent approach work down the right wing saw<br />
Luke Charlton, Sam Causton and Stevenson combine, Stevenson's<br />
near post cross was met by Bolzon whose first time effort was<br />
smothered by keeper Maydew diving at the feet of Bolzon.<br />

broken up by niggling fouls or stray passes and neither side hitting<br />
the heights with the quality of play associated with both<br />
teams.<br />
