MATCH REPORT
It’s rare these days to play a competitive game against a club you have never played before but despite both clubs being around for over 100 years, this was the first time the sides have met.

What an epic encounter that ebbed one way then the next. Liam Molesworth opened the scoring on 3 minutes when he intercepted a back pass. Robert Stevenson levelled with a header on 22 minutes then Liam Molesworth gave Coleshill the lead again on the stroke of half time.
Leek came out on fire in the second half and scored on 51 minutes thru Oliver Harrison and then took the lead on 59 minutes thru Timothy Grice. Coleshill looked dead and buried but dragged themselves back into the game with ten minutes to go thru a Kai Tonge penalty and they thought they had won the tie when Kyle Jardine nipped in between keeper and defender to tap home on 90 minutes. The scores were level again when substitute Thomas Carr headed home a cross on 97 minutes.
