Chasetown lose to Coalville but focused on Walsall Senior Cup final
It was a game that was all about Coalville – with the Leicestershire side needing to win and requiring Belper to beat or draw at home to Halesowen Town for the Ravens to lift the Evo-Stik Division One South title.
The opening few minutes reflected that with the visitors looking keen to make sure they did their bit and they kept Chasetown very much at arm's length.
The Scholars had one eye on the Walsall Senior Cup final but owed their fans a good send-off for the final home game of the season.
News filtered through that Halesowen had taken the lead and not long after Coalville broke the deadlock. The visitors were awarded a penalty when Grant Beckett tackled Glyn Cotton and Cam Stuart made no mistake from the spot.
Coalville increased their lead six minutes before half-time and never looked likely to surrender it. Anthony Carney twisted and turned and finished superbly.
Nine minutes after the break it was game over as Callum Woodward made it 3-0.
Coalville's efforts were in vain, however, as the Yeltz's victory was confirmed.
The visiting support raised £400 for Stephen Sutton and Teenage Cancer Trust while over £200 was raised for St Anne's Church, Chasetown in a bucket collection.
