Yeltz manager Paul Smith remains delighted with Halesowen’s impressive start to the season.

“It was close in the first half, but we camped in their half after the break,” he said. “We have a strong squad and those coming off the bench are making the difference. It’s now six clean sheets from eight games.”

Both newly promoted sides started unbeaten, but first-half chances remained at a premium with both defences looking solid in the punishing heat.
