MATCH REPORT
Coleshill took on a very young Coventry City side in the Birmingham Senior Cup and gave them a good game in the first half. Ihsan Rehman put himself into the CTFC history books with a goal against a PRO team on 31 minutes but City equalised with just about the last kick of the half. The visitors lifted their game in the second half, suspect they'd had a telling off at the break, and were too good for Coleshill, scoring two, 49 and 57 minutes before the floodlight failure. Both teams were happy with a 3-1 scoreline to remain but the Birmingham Senior Cup Committee decided the game had to be replayed.
