Blues Into Senior Cup Final

Last updated : 03 March 2005 By Brian Cartlidge

Following a goalless first period Andrew Barrowman went close immediately following the restart before Peter Till gave Blues the lead with a low drive from just outside the area on 54 minutes following good work down the right flank by the impressive Nick Wright.

Asa Hall went close to doubling the lead for Blues on 70 minutes but his powerful header was well saved by former Blues keeper Ryan Price.

Blues secured victory ten minutes from time with a superb solo effort from Wright. The young Blues winger finished off a mazy run down the left by cutting inside the Rushall defence to fire home from just outside the box.

Keith Bertschin's side will now meet the winners of the other semi-final between Redditch and Wolves in the final.
