Rushall Olympic progressed safely through to the Quarter-Final stage of the Staffordshire Senior Cup with a relatively straight forward 3-1 success in front of a sparse crowd at Evo-Stik First Division South rivals Leek Town.

The Pics couldn’t have had a worse start as their confident looking guests forged ahead after only two minutes. The goal came courtesy of skipper Niki Preston who attempted and failed to head a ball clear, allowing Ashley Miller time and space to cut into the left side of the box and clip a shot off the inside of the near post and into the net…

Dean Perrow made a triumphant return to first team action as he scored the only goal of the game against Leek Town on Wednesday.
In a match where the teams cancelled each other out for most of the cold but dry evening, Perrow made his first Scholars appearance since August 15th last year when he suffered a leg injury at Lincoln United in the first league game of the season, and he was on the scoresheet within two minutes of his comeback.
