The Scholars almost added a second just after the half hour. Skipper Danny O’Callaghan got his head on a cross and Hathaway quickly adjusted his feet to push the ball wide for a corner.

Coleshill levelled two minutes before the interval. Amarvir Sandhu burst forward from the left back position and set up Kai Tonge who lifted the ball beyond Curtis Pond.
