The Hawthorns
9-5-2, 23 PTS
Villa are held at the Hawthorns in the 107th Villa-Albion game. It's a game they should have won as Dennis Mortimer runs the game and debutant Gary Shaw runs the home team ragged. Villa are pegged back by a questionable first half penalty only to then have a late penalty for a foul on Shaw refused.
