MATCH REPORT
What a game to watch, goals galore, and two stand out players, James Spruce with a hat-trick, out done by Aaron Nuttall who scored Four and was by far the Man Of The Match.
This game was all about goals so the match report is all about goals! Coleshill started well and scored in 2 minutes. Alex Tomkinson's long ball into the box came off a defender and James Spruce tapped home. With just 9 mins gone Coleshill were 2-0 up, again a Tomkinson long ball into box this time from a free kick, Kane Auld flicked the ball on into the six yard box and Spruce headed home. The visitors come back came from another long ball but left footed Nuttall cut inside two Coleshill defenders and hit a right footed shot into the top corner, it might have took a deflection off Kane Auld. Just 34mins gone and it was all square. A cross from the left was half cleared but gifted to Nuttall who hit a left foot rocket into top corner. Half time 2-2.

Coleshill had started on fire but Hinckley were definately fully back in the game and it didn't take long before they were in front. A minute into the second half Auld attempted a back pass but Nuttall nipped in to complete a 31 minute hat-trick. In the 55th minute a short corner to Nuttall was crossed into the danger area but home keeper Behan managed to push the ball into the net. On 71mins substitute Elliot Ball cleverley flicked the ball over the square visitors defence to the running Spruce who took one touch then toe poked the ball passed the keeper. 3-4. Just three minutes later that man Nuttall was running at the home defence, passed to Brennan who from 20 yards bent the ball into the far top corner of the net. There was still time for Letford to hit the post and Sam Fitzgerald have a long range effort saved. Wow! And breath!
