BEARS SURVIVE THE BIG FREEZE

Only two fixtures in the Midland Football League survived the big freeze on Saturday and the big winners were Division 1 side Paget Rangers.

The Bears, who had been without a league win since October were rewarded for getting their match on with a 2-1 victory against play-off contenders Bilston Town. Leslie Omorodion getting both of Paget Rangers' goals.

The one match to survive in the Premier Division was Lichfield City's home clash with Bewdley Town. Ewen Edwards 40th minute strike gave the visitors a slender half time lead. Dan Lomas equalised for Lichfield City in the 63rd minute, but Bewdley regained the lead just two minutes later thanks to a Jamie Elkes own goal. Lichfield City secured a point in the 80th minute thanks to Kyle Patterson's equalising goal in front of a crowd of 122 at the Trade Tyre Services Stadium.
