Boldmere started the brighter and the first opportunity came after 9 minutes when a whipped in cross from Ricky Baker was saved by Coleshill’s Craig Johnson.
The Mikes continuing the pressure took the lead on the quarter hour mark when a Ricky Baker cross was met by the head of Jason Holmes who guided the ball home.
On 21 minutes, the advantage was doubled when Matthew Hawker crossed from out wide and the ball was tapped home by Lee Osbourne to give Boldmere a commanding early advantage.
Coleshill’s first real opportunity came on 29 minutes when a Liam Givens shot went past the mikes post. Eight minutes later a free kick from Coleshill’s Luke Williams just cleared the Boldmere bar. On 40 minutes Boldmere’s Louis Fenney had to make his first real save of the game when he saved an effort from Marvin Johnson.

On 63 minutes Coleshill thought they had pulled a goal back when a shot from Ben Porter beat Louis Fenney in the mikes goal only for the ball to hit the inside of the Boldmere post and the defence soon cleared it away.
Coleshill’s day was summed up on 73 minutes when a shot from Coleshill sub Jason Lanns beat the keeper but clipped the top of the Boldmere cross bar and out of play.
The Mikes with key games vs Westfields on Tuesday night and Whitley Bay on Saturday bought on Andrew Lewis, Tom Law, and Lyndon Weller in the last 15 minutes as they looked to rest legs ahead of the busy schedule.
