Coleshill Town 1–0 Birmingham City: A Vital Win That Sets the Stage for a Huge Night Ahead
Pack Meadow finally shook off the winter chaos — snow, rain, frozen pitches and even a bout of mumps — to welcome football back with a bang. More than 200 supporters braved the cold and created a brilliant atmosphere as Coleshill edged past Birmingham City in the Birmingham Senior Cup, a result that felt as much like a release as a victory.
Bassit Mandey’s composed 53rd‑minute finish, created by Marvellous Onabirekhanlan’s perfectly weighted pass, proved the difference. A heroic goalkeeping display protected the lead, including a fingertip save onto the post that will live long in the memory. It was a night of grit, unity and a reminder of what this squad can produce when the moment demands it.
