MATCH REPORT
First win for Racing Club since promotion to Level 4 this season, and First defeat for Coleshill Town's new management. A disappointing result! There are goals in this team but even with Three recognised fowards in the starting line up, the Colemen are still finding it hard to find the back of the net. Josh Hesson made a good run early on but his cross eluded everyone, before the Home side took the lead on 10mins through Josh McKenzie. Coleshill hit back with an effort from Maxwell Ngbeken which went over the bar and a tame shot from Josh Hesson just wide. Town keeper Ben Newey did well to tip a shot from a free kick over the bar before Ben Billingham had a shot blocked, but overall this was a poor first half for Coleshill.
A better second half from the visitors but again the goal threat was minimal. Josh Hesson had a couple of shots blocked, Ben Newey made a great save from a corner, Ben Billingham sent a free kick over the bar as did Alex Tomkinson a few minutes later. RCW were reduced to ten men when James Snedden was shown a Red card. Coleshill tried to up their game but a Niall Rowe header from a Ben Usher-Shipway cross going wide was the closest they came to an equaliser.

Back to the FA Cup this Saturday, away to Brocton and quickly back in League action at Home to Long Eaton United on Monday, unless of course the FA Cup game ends in a draw and a replay.
