Coleshill 1-2 Chasetown - Report
Chasetown picked up three points on the road as they beat Coleshill.
The Scholars made a positive start and deservedly took the lead when Liam Kirton got on the end of a right wing cross and confidently beat Paul Hathaway from 6 yards.
Kirton was a whisker away from making it 2-0 with a right footed effort that flew 6 inches wide of the keeper’s left hand post.
Zack Foster then saw an effort disallowed for a tight offside.
Against the run of play, a Scholars attack broke down and a cross to Kai Tonge saw the home number 7 slotted past Curtis Pond.
Kirton was close again, through one on one with keeper Hathaway and rattled the middle of the post.
Pond made a great save to deny Liam Molesworth as the hosts pushed to try and avoid a midweek replay.
Pond made two more saves as Coleshill looked more and more threatening.
In the final minute, Kirton thought he had netted a late winner, only to be denied by the Assistant’s flag
Substitute Korey Burke almost squeezed a winner and then Oli Hayward popped up with a dramatic late winner from inside the penalty box.
