Coleshill won at Oak Park but it was a very even game.

SUNDAY MERCURY WROTE
The home side got off to an ideal start in the 5th minute with Andy Ratcliffe stabbing the ball home after anticipating a casually struck back pass. Two minutes before the interval Coleshill equalised when a low Rory Cash pass was hammered home by Jim Clayton. In the 53rd minute the visitors had the chance to take the lead from the penalty spot when the home keeper Kevin Griffiths brought down Cash but redeemed himself by flinging to his right and push away Cash's spot kick. The game seemed to be heading for a draw until Cash and Clayton combined yet again for the later to head home the late winner.
