The Non League Paper Wrote
Coleshill took advantage of a weakened Wisbech team to record a comfortable victory in the Fens. Joe Phillips gave the visitors the lead in the third minute with an acrobatic effort, before Liam Molesworth caught Wisbech keeper Charlie Congreve in no-man's land to double the lead on the half hour. Kai Tonge made it three for Coleshill just before the break with a jinking run and low shot. Wisbech came out for the second half looking more of an attacking threat, but Coleshill goalkeeper Paul Hathaway amazingly made it four for the Colemen after 68 minutes with a floated free kick from his own half which too Congreve by surprise.
Star Man: Kai Tonge.

MATCH REPORT

Coleshill started the season in the new Northern Premier League Midland Division with a bang and the best opening day result since 2013! The NPL Midland was supposed to result in less travelling and over the course of the season it almost certainly will, but the journey to Wisbech seemed as long as any in the Southern League, stuck on the motorway due to an accident didn't help either and the players had no time to relax as there was just enough time to get changed and get warmed up.

Coleshill beat Wisbech last season in an FA Trophy game, the only time the sides had met, and the Colemen got off to a great start as debutant Joe Phillips scored with a scissor kick from just inside the box with just three minutes on the clock. The home side couldn't cope with the pace that the Coleshill side have all over the pitch. Kai Tonge, who set up Phillips for his goal, again left the defence in his wake into the box but home keeper Congreve pushed the shot out for a corner. Wisbech tried to hit back and from a corner keeper Paul Hathaway had to punch the cross out from under the bar and a second corner was cleared by centre back Niall Rowe. The home side came close to levelling on the half hour mark when a cross from the right was headed goalward by Draper but Hathaway's dive palmed the ball away and the subsequent clearance sent Liam Molesworth on a run at goal and with the keeper in no-man's land, Molesworth casually lobbed the stopper, the ball landing in the empty net for 2-0. Josh Willis got in on the act as Coleshill dominated with a shot that Congreve saved and then just before the break Kai Tonge once again burst into the box but this time he beat two men then side footed the ball past the diving Congreve into the far corner of the net. 3-0 at half time and job done!

Coleshill started the second half brightly and had a couple of chances to increase their lead, Gio Dainty not far away with a shot, a free kick from Joe Phillips and a cross along the six yard box from Liam Molesworth but Wisbech came more into the game without really testing the Town defence to much. Josh Willis tested the home keeper but he saved at a stretch, Josh Mansell saw a cracking effort go just over the bar, Kai Tonge had a one on one but this time Congreve came out on top, but Coleshill increased their lead on 65minutes from an unlikely source! Town were awarded a free kick around 10 yards inside their own half. Keeper Paul Hathaway came out of his goal to take the kick and noticed the opposition keeper off his line. So he took a punt and his effort sailed over Congreve and landed in the net. For me that's a first, a goal from a free kick from 65 yards by a goalkeeper! Wisbech hit the post as the sought a consolation goal but the game kind of petered out as both sides introduced their substitutes.
Welcome to The Northern Premier League Coleshill Town!
