GENERAL
A massive congratulations and thank you to first team and club captain Chris Waterhouse in making his 150th appearance for the Robins in the weekend away draw at Bewdley Town. Chris is certainly a fans favourite as an all round fantastic footballer and nice bloke!! He is Dudley Town through and through and his commitment has never wavered in his 4 seasons with the club. Commitment like this at our standard of football is a rarity and undoubtedly Chris could have and still would be able to compete at a much higher standard. We are lucky to have such a player!!
Well done on this achievement and a big thank you from the entire Management Committee

1st Team
Although breaking our run of 8 successive wins, we are unbeaten in 9 following a crediable and hard earned draw at Bewdley Town on Saturday afternoon. After being 2-0 down at half-time and 3-1 down with 15 mins to go, our never say die attitude paid off to gain a point and make ground on leaders Ellesmere Rangers who surprisingly lost at home to Goodrich. We maintained our 3rd position with Oldbury Athletic also crashing to a 4-0 defeat.
Danny Ashton's 14th goal of the season, along with Calum Martins 6th and Mensah Kinch 5th goals of the season meant we left Bewdley happier than in the last few seasons - with a retunr for our hard working performance.
Reminder that we are at home on Wednesday night against Black Country Rangers in the JW Hunt Cup. Please come along and support us

Dudley Town 0 Wednesfield 5
A good game right from the off with Wednesfield physically dominating the first half and creating some good chances which put them 3 up going into the break. Dudley gave too much respect to the visitors throughout the first half which at this level is'nt good enough and you will get punished. Second half Dudley started to show signs of what they can do and at times looked very good until again they made two sloppy errors at the back and were punished with two more goals. Well done Wednesfield .
Congratulations to goalkeeper Christopher Yale who was nominated as the opponents Man of the Match by Wednesfield after an outstanding performance (Gold Award). Silver Award went to Dudley substitute Regen Evans and a Bronze Award to Dudley Town No 10. Jack Hickman
Under 10's
Our young side were again on the wrong side of a game away against Cradley Cobras on Sunday morning, losing by 2 goals to nil. In a close game, 0-0 at half time, 2 late goals sank Dudley under the watchful eye of an onlooking Walsall FC Youth scout. He was extremely impressed by a number of players on both sides.
