THREE penalty decisions were at the centre of Droitwich Spa's 1-0 Midland Combination division one defeat at West Hagley last Saturday.

Kevin Blaber's side had two spot kick appeals rejected before the hosts took the points with a second half penalty of their own.

A controversial penalty also played a huge part in Spa's 4-2 loss at leaders Wellesbourne the weekend before last.

The manager said: "It sounds like sour grapes again but we are being a bit hard done by with penalties. But we are playing well an creating chances but it just seems that luck is going against us at the moment. We have got to start picking up the points again."

That task begins at home to Newhall United this Saturday.
