Halesowen Town 2 Coalville Town 3 - Report

New signing Ethan Jones made an immediate impact in a four-goal first half as he burst down the right in the first minute and his shot was turned away for a corner by Coalville goalkeeper Jamie Hannis. At the other end Dan Platt saved Blair Anderson's 4th minute effort.

The visitors took a 14th minute lead when a low shot from captain Steve Towers squeezed inside Dan Platt's post from 30 yards out. But the Yeltz were soon back on level terms in the 24th minute when defender Lee Torr was caught out by Jones, who then produced a great finish.

Dan Creaney regained Coalville's lead by slotting home from the penalty spot after Marcus Poscha upended Nathan Watson down the left of the area after 33 minutes.

The Yeltz made it 2-2 in the 38th minute after another superb 20-yard strike from Jones rebounded down off the underside of the crossbar and Daniel Udoh was on hand to smash home the rebound.

The home side had their chances to grab a winner when John McAtee's low shot was collected by Hannis in the 54th minute and Kyle Morrison headed over the bar in front of goal after Danny Bragoli flicked on a 63rd minute free-kick.

But the Ravens struck a 78th minute winner when Watson burst down the left and finished superbly. The visitors played out the rest of the game with relative ease, although Bragoli nodded an injury time header just wide.
