Halesowen finally claimed their first win of the season but manager Martin O'Connor sustained further injury woes as Duane Darby and Gary Knight limped out.

The Yeltz took a 10th minute lead when Nick Amos nodded across for Liam McDonald to unleash a fine 20-yard goal.

However, the visitors levelled when Alex Stanley launched a 14th minute overhead kick.

Duane Darby regained Halesowen's lead by heading home his first goal from Davion Hamilton's fine 21st minute cross.

The Cirencester youngsters bounced back to equalise for a second time in superb fashion in the 53rd minute when Phil Hall collected Nick Stanley's pass and planted the ball into the top corner.

But the Yeltz struck the winner just a minute later when a far post cross from new signing Nick Eaden was headed back across goal by Amos for livewire Shane Paul to touch home.
