Bromsgrove Sporting 1 (Henry 68')
Coalville Town 4 (Putman 45' P, Taylor OG 58', Berridge 79' & 89')

Bromsgrove Sporting were made to pay for a hatful of missed first half chances, as they eventually endured a tough defeat at the hands of Coalville Town.

Eliot Putman scored a penalty in the final moments of first half before an own goal from keeper Ollie Taylor doubled the lead thirteen minutes into the second forty-five.

Prince Henry notched up his fourth goal of the season ten minutes later to give the Rouslers hope, but a brace from substitute Tim Berridge ultimately ensured the Ravens would take all three points back to Leicestershire.

The first thirty minutes saw Sporting enjoy some good chances - Henry had a couple of efforts well saved by Dean Snedker, whilst Miro Pais was unsuccessful with two quickfire chances from just inside the box.

The spotkick came after Ashley Chambers was fouled in the area. Putman slotted home with his left foot, sending Taylor the wrong way.

The Sporting stopper had to be alert to keep out chances from Tom McGlinchey and Kieran Cook early in the second half, but he was at fault for the second goal, bundling a 58th minute Putman corner narrowly over his line.

68 minutes in, Henry got in on goal and saw his effort go in via the post, continuing his fine goalscoring start to the season.

11 minutes from time, the ball was played into Berridge following a good Taylor save - he made no mistake from close range.

He doubled his tally for the evening with a minute of normal time remaining, converting a pinpoint Putman cross from inside the six yard box.

There was a final piece of drama in additional time, as Bromsgrove's Billy Shaw was shown a straight red card for a challenge on Joe Doyle-Charles.
