ahead. Greg Smith, making his 1st start for a while made it 1-1 after he followed up a Mykey Price shot to pounce from close range on 18minutes.
Gresley pressed for the advantage and had a number of close efforts in the run up to half time. Paul Grosse's long ball to the edge of the Bloxwich box was headed down by Phil Lonergan into the path of Smith who hit a first time effort that flew into the net for a deserved half time lead.
