Ricky Anslow's 55th minute super strike earned Wulfs a share of the spoils after a hard fought local derby against Wolverhampton Casuals at the Castlecroft Stadium.

James Skedgel was back at the heart of the defence while Ricky Anslow returned to the starting line up in attack.

In a tense opening quarter of an hour, Kyle Brady hit a shot straight at keeper Steve Booth from the edge of the area while former Wulfs player Richard Gummery did the same at the other end when presented with a decent chance.

It was Casuals who created the first good chance of the game in the 16th minute when Dave Waple was fed on the left corner of the area but Danny Tipton was alert to save with an outstretched toe.

Wulfs' best chance of the first half came on 25 minutes when a bit of head tennis from a corner ended with Myles Fen heading goalwards but his effort was cleared away from near the goal line.

Three minutes before the interval, Casuals took the lead.  Substitute Michael Allen, on for the injured James Simmonds, delivered a good diagonal ball to the left and Adam Edmunds ran on and lobbed the keeper from the edge of the area.

Casuals had a good chance to extend their lead three minutes into the second half when Tony Onokah turned well in the area before firing over from 12 yards.

Wulfs needed some inspiration and it came along in the form of a 55th minute equaliser out of nothing.  Ricky Anslow picked up a loose ball and drove at the defence before cutting back on to his left foot and curling a sublime shot into the top corner of the net.

Liam Evans then struck the face of the crossbar with an in-swinging corner while at the other end Tony Onokah went close again.

Ricky Anslow had a great opportunity to give Wulfs a 73rd minute lead when he latched on to Kyle Brady's ball over the top but he fired wide with just the keeper to beat.

Wulfs piled on the pressure in the final ten minutes with sub Andy Mitchell and Kyle Brady both shooting into the side netting.  Then in injury time Steve Booth pushed out Brady's shot and Mitchell's follow up effort went just wide.

In the end a draw was probably a fair result.
