Coleshill Town 3 Halesowen Town 2 - Report
Halesowen slipped from the top of the table after two Coleshill goals in the last five minutes condemned Halesowen to their first defeat under the management duo of Martin Sockett and Craig Nicholls.
The Colemen took an early 14th minute lead when Halesowen goalkeeper Dan Platt was at fault in challenging Kai Tonge when the ball bounced up and TONGE stepped up to convert the resulting penalty. There was little to choose between the sides in the first period with plenty of high balls leading to few chances on goal. A 21st minute free-kick from Halesowen’s Josh Quaynor hit the defensive wall and McKauley Manning’s 23rd minute shot was headed away by Niall Rowe. Home goalkeeper Paul Hathaway then pushed away a good 41st minute cross from Simeon Cobourne.
