GATE OFF TO BEST START
Highgate United got off to their best-ever start to a season by opening the scoring after only thirty seconds. But Manager Les Dolphin still has a long way to go in his rebuilding of a Highgate United side after two seasons in the doldrums. Although Highgate won by two clear goals, the margin against an unimpressive Coleshill side should have been five or six at least. Highgate could easily have won more convincingly but for the lack of rhythm and method which spoiled their enthusiasm for long periods. The opening goal came when winger Dave Morby made ground on the left flank and centred for Denton Martin to power in and hammer the ball in from eight yards. Highgate deservedly went further ahead after 24 minutes when a long centre from Morby squeezed under the diving Lawrence and Martin was left to tap the ball over the line from close range. Coleshill pulled one goal back in first half injury time when poor marking allowed McNaught to head home from a Christopher corner after a period of sustained pressure. The visitors dominated the opening stages of the second half and pegged Highgate back for the first few minutes. But a swift break saw a Morby flick slice through the often non-existant Coleshill defence and find Jerome Edwards who rounded Lawrence to shoot into an empty net. Morby and Edwards both went close to increasing the lead while at the other end Nasleem Butt was in fine form to pull off excellent saves from Edmonds and McNaught.
