SUNDAY MERCURY WROTE
Kings Heath recorded their second win of the week when two late goals from Cartwright and Sheehan gave them the points. Kings Heath took the lead after 31 minutes when Mitchell scored from the edge of the penalty area but Coleshill attacked strongly in the second half and scored a deserved equaliser on the hour when Warom headed home a Bennett cross. Kings Heath went ahead again after 70 minutes through Cartwright to slot home from 8 yards and Sheehan made it safe ten minutes later with a 20 yard drive.


TAMWORTH HERALD WROTE
(Headline and first paragraph hard to read, need to look it up)
Coleshill made a number of promising attacks in the first 20 minutes or so. The best of those was a shot that went over the bar by Rory Cash from a quickly taken free kick on the half way line by cenre half Colin Cooke, followed shortly by a strong effort by Neil Brady from a cross by Mike Warom. The only goal of the half came in the 35th minute from Ian Mitchell for Kings Heath with a low shot from the edge of the penalty area from a pass by David Sheehan. The Coleshill forwards then began to apply some pressure, and were rewarded ten minutes into the second half although the goal came from midfielder, Mike Warom. Coleshill's right back Greg Bennett floated in a well judged ball from the centre which Warom met perfectly to head in powerfully to the top corner of the net. This reverse seemed to revitalise the visitors for Mark Cartwright to score the best goal of the game five minutes later. Mitchell took the ball through from the half way line ten passed to Alleyne who ran in, slipped the ball to Cartwright who finished off a well worked team effort. The game was virtually over at that stage but Sheehan finished off the home side five minutes from time with a shot which was as strong as the average back-pass, but Adrian Yeomans (who had not one of his best games) fumbled and watched the ball roll over the line.
