MATCH REPORT
These two sides were drawn together and the same stage of the FA Trophy last season and the visitors won 5-1. It was different this time as Coleshill were 2-0 up after 20 minutes with goals from Alex McSkeane and Sam Tye, BUT, Carlton hit back with a penalty and an equaliser just before the half time whistle. Coleshill dug deep and retook the lead on the hour mark with McSkeane's second, and then the heavens opened making playing decent football almost impossible. The club house got flooded but there was no floods of goals as Coleshill held on for the win and a place in the next round of the FA Trophy.
