Quorn Extend Unbeaten Run To Five In Stylish Win

Quorn stretched their unbeaten run to five as goals from Courey Grantham, Cain Noble and Paddy Webb earned the Reds a convincing home win. Lewis Feney was involved early for the visitors, pulling off an excellent save to deny Noble in the 10th minute. Tom Hilton had flicked a header on expertly to feed Grantham, who squared for Noble, who was frustrated by the Coleshill keeper. Charlie Woods had to pull off a superb stop of his own at the other end, diving full stretch to keep out a rasping effort from George Washbourne. Grantham opened the scoring in the 20th minute for the hosts, as they dominated the opening half an hour. Hilton and Noble were again involved, with Hilton crossing to Grantham, who fed Noble. The midfielders effort was saved by Fenney, but Grantham was quickest to react, poking home his ninth goal of the season. Noble almost got himself on the scoresheet, but saw his headed effort cleared off the line. Fenney was keeping his side in the match, and got down well to deny Webb'''''' in the 27th minute. Despite sheer domination, Coleshill found a way back into the match as Sam Fitzgerald equalised before the break. The midfielder wasn't closed down quickly enough and he had time to rifle his shot beyond Woods into the top corner. After a frustrating end to the first half, Quorn came out with renewed vigour in the second half, but Noble was, once again, denied by Fenney. Jamie Hood bundled the ball into the net from a corner just before the hour mark, but the powerful centre half was adjudged to have used his hand and the goal was chalked off. Noble scored an excellent individual effort in the 67th minute, riding several challenges, and shooting past Fenney from just inside the area. It was just the goal he deserved, for an industrious effort in the middle of the park, taking his goal tally for the season into double figures. Paddy Webb killed the game off with a thunderous strike into the roof of the net in the 78th minute and it was left to Fenney to keep the scoreline down, as he tipped a Devon Kelly-Evans effort over the bar just before the end.
