The home side went ahead in the eighth minute when Steve Towers fired in a shot from 30 yards which found the top corner.

It was 2-0 in the 23rd minute when the ball went all the way across the box leaving Nat Watson fired home from close range.

The Pitmen we're back in it in the 32nd minute when Danny Glover was fouled in the penalty area and the striker picked himself up to fire home from 12 yards.

That good work was undone in the 38th minute though when a low ball in was turned into his own bet by Sam Oji to extend Coalville's lead.

Just when the Pitmen needed a good start to the second half they conceded a fourth in the 49th minute as Daniel Creaney fired home.

Three minutes later it was 5-1 as a ball into the box found an unmarked Creaney who headed home at the back post.

The Pitmen didn't let their heads drop despite the score line as they continued to push forward.

Their efforts were rewarded in the final minute of stoppage time as James Lawrie picked out Glover to head home at the far post.
