NON LEAGUE PAPER WROTE
It finished goalless at Hayden Road as Coleshill picked up a first point of the season and Diamonds a second draw against fancied opponents. Diamonds started brightly creating two close-range chances from Joel Nketia and Freddie Robinson coth blocked. Coleshill grew into the game and created their own efforts with Mason Rees heading wide and Lewis Allison blasting over. Coleshill shaded the early second half creating a number of half chances plus a potential game-winning chance that Niall Flint screwed wide and another close-range header put wide. Diamonds improved and had their own potential match-winning chance, but Max Prickett-Reed flicked Sidik Altcha's through ball over the keeper.
Star Man: Sidik Altcha (AFC Rushden & D)
