STUDLEY must replay their Birmingham Midweek Floodlit Cup semi-final with Cadbury Athletic after last week's contest had to be abandoned with just eight minutes remaining.

The match was cut short following a serious injury to Cadbury's Stuart Cook after falling awkwardly in a collision with Studley's Luke Dugmore.

Cook fractured his arm in the clash and couldn't be moved.

Studley boss Keith Draper said: "The paramedics couldn't move him for over an hour. We were winning 2-1 at the time and the referee told me he was prepared to wait.

"But I felt it wasn't right to continue in the circumstances and suggested to the referee that he should abandon the game, which he then did."

The game will now be replayed on Tuesday, March 7 with the winners set to face either Coventry Copsewood or Nuneaton Griff in the final.

Studley had no league fixture this week and slipped back to third from bottom in Midland League Division One as a result after fellow strugglers Stafford Town and Pershore both picked up impressive wins.

Draper added: "Everyone is fighting for their lives at the bottom and all the results went against us. But we're on a good run of form having picked up 15 points from our last six games and we have to make that pay."

Studley travel to Pelsall Villa this Saturday in what will be another important battle at the bottom of the table.
