MATCH REPORT
Darleston gained promotion into this league for the first time and so this was the first ever competitive meeting between the two sides. Coleshill were poor in the first half and an impressive Darleston side took a two goal lead. Coleshill got a life line as Alex McSkeane scored in first half added time. Coleshill were much better in the second half and equalised through Ben Usher-Shipway, his first goal for Coleshill. The Colemen tried hard to come up with a winner, and maybe deserved it but it just didn't happen.
