Coleshill Town produced a superb all‑round performance at a sun‑soaked Pack Meadow, stunning league leaders Carlton Town with a goal after just 43 seconds from Bassit Mandey before Mason Rees doubled the lead on 14 minutes, and although both sides created chances in an open, end‑to‑end contest—with Cam making several outstanding saves—Carlton’s late pressure only yielded a single stoppage‑time strike from Jason Law, allowing The Colemen to hold firm for a deserved 2–1 win that lifts them to fourth and strengthens their playoff position on a perfect day for players and supporters alike.

After a winter of snow, rain and freezing temperatures — and even a dose of mumps — football finally returned to Pack Meadow for a memorable Birmingham Senior Cup tie.
