Classic game of two halves
Midland Combination Premier Division
The 'game of two halves' cliche has never been as apt as it was at Oak Park on Tuesday as Wood fought out an entertaining draw.
Wood dominated the first half and took the lead on 10 minutes as Huseyin Torgut was upended just outside the box and Brett Larkins nodded home Rob Cadman's pinpoint free-kick from six yards...

Walsall Wood murder victim’s grave fight to start in weeks
Chris Henwood B’ham Mail 27 Feb 10
The legal fight for a grave where murdered bricklayer Danny Hastelow was mistakenly buried is to take place next month. Danny, from Walsall Wood, was stabbed to death in a Spanish apartment after celebrating his 26th birthday in January 2008. But after a long battle to bring his killer to justice and repatriate Mr Hastelow’s body, the heartbreak of his family was extended when he was buried in the wrong grave at St John’s Church last November...

Walsall Wood crucifixion protest halts traffic
The YamYam 23 Feb 10
Lichfield Road in Walsall Wood was closed during the Tuesday morning rush hour due to what is believed to have been a bizarre protest outside a GP surgery.
Traffic was halted as the emergency services dealt with the incident which involved a partially dressed man seen hanging from a cross attached to a telegraph pole. The road was closed between Boatmans Lane and Salters Road as police and paramedics used a ladder to bring the man down to safety. He was taken to Walsall Manor Hospital to be treated for hypothermia and to undergo a psychiatric assessment. Brigg Ford, spokesman for West Midlands Police, said: “It seems this was a spur of the moment thing he has done, he made clear he did not intend to injure himself or anyone else.
“Partner agencies have been made aware and are investigating what is believed to have been some sort of protest.”
Chris Kowalik of the West Midlands Ambulance Service said: “We were called just after 7:30am and paramedics took one man to Walsall Manor Hospital.”
Due to the sensitivity of the case, he offered no further comment.
Lichfield Road was reopened at about 8:25am.
