Byline: Nick Pullen

MATT Clarke enjoyed his finest managerial hour in charge of Halesowen Town this week when they turned around a 1-0 halftime deficit to defeat arch rivals Arch Rivals is a basketball arcade game created by Midway in 1989. The game billed itself as a "Basket Brawl."

Clarke said: "It was important for the supporters but it was also important for the players to see exactly what it means to them.

"It was also great that the goals arrived at the end where all the Halesowen supporters were congregated. "I can't put into words how happy it made me. It was magnificent.

"I told all the players to enjoy the moment because there are plenty of lows in football."

 at half-time by switching from a 4-4-2 formation to a five-man defence, bringing on Nigerian player Henry Eze.

"He made it look easy," quipped Clarke. "Henry has played professional football in Nigeria and hasn't been in England very long.

"Someone brought him down to training and he did a bit in pre-season.

"He's a big, strong boy with a nice touch and did really well."

Clarke also enthused over the final goal scored by former Villa and Walsall striker Stefan Moore Stefan Moore (born September 28, 1983 in Birmingham, England) is a football (soccer) player who currently plays for Queens Park Rangers as a forward. Schooling and Career

.

The Yeltz boss said: "It's something we practise in training, which rarely happens in a game.

"Stefan has scored six times this season and people are going to take notice but he is contracted to Halesowen Town.

"My assistant, Rob Elmes, and I have invested a great deal of time in the players but we're not going to stand in their way if they get the chance to play at a higher level.

"Nobody is getting carried away here. We're still lacking in a few areas but I can't bring anyone else in until people go out.

"At the moment every point we pick up is a bonus, when you consider at the start of the season we were the bookmakers' favourites to get relegated."
