REPORT: Coleshill Town 0-3 Quorn
Quorn maintained their slender lead at the top of the table as they stretched their winning run to nine games, continuing their unbeaten start to the season. Zak Goodson scored a brace for the Reds and Paddy Webb notched his 79th goal for the club in his 100th appearance.
The Reds thought they had an early penalty when Goodson was bundled over in the box, but after a discussion with his Assistant, Referee Mark Reilly changed the initial call to a free kick on the edge of the area. It looked as though Coleshill were lucky to escape another penalty as Kobe Hall managed to keep a ball in on the touchline, only for Taylor Carter-Byrne to wrestle him to the ground.
Jack Hallam received a yellow card for a very late challenge on Reece Fyfe as the Referee played that an advantage that ended with Cain Noble heading narrowly wide. The deadlock was eventually broken when a Goodson corner was only half cleared, with the forward collecting the ball on the edge of the box, driving towards the touchline and shooting through the legs of Tyrese Warmington to send Quorn in ahead at the break.
Tyrese Warmington was kept busy in the home goal, making saves from Noble and Hall even though Coleshill were enjoying their best spell of the match. Though they had enjoyed an increase in possession at the start of the second half, the Colemen never really forced Tom Allsopp into anything too strenuous in the Quorn goal.
After missing the 5-1 win at home to Loughborough Students on Tuesday evening, Webb came off the bench in the 66th minute, replacing Jordan Clarke, and it didn’t take long for the prolific striker to be back amongst the goals. Just six minutes into his 100th appearance, Webb was the beneficiary of Noble’s typical industry, winning the ball and laying off to the forward as he unleashed a rasping effort from just inside the box.
Coleshill threw men forward in the final fifteen minutes, trying to find a way back into the match, and despite some decent work around the box, they still never tested Allsopp. Webb launched a counter-attack deep into stoppage time, feeding the excellent Silvio Bello whose ball into the box fell to Courey Grantham, who teed up Goodson to apply the finishing touch on another win. Manager Ryan Beswick will be delighted with another cleansheet as Quorn secured their seventh in 12 league games.
but couldn’t do anything to stop Paddy Webb, so came off the bench to score as he marked his 100th appearance for Quorn. Goodson, who played a starring role on the day, put an exclamation point on the win for Quorn as he added a third in stoppage time.
