Coleshill Town 0 Boldmere 1

Im not gonna lie. There were several times during the course of this match when I seriously began to question my motives in taking on this challenge. An FA Cup replay on a cold, wet Tuesday evening? Great.

This one had to be done however, and being a local derby, it had every chance of becoming a classic. It wasn't. In reality it was a game of little incident, Boldmere scoring the games only goal by means of a free kick that flew past everyone in the box, including the goalkeeper, into the net. In the second half, the weather deteriorated further, and I ended up watching the rest of the game in my brother's girlfriends car.

For Boldmere however, the importance of the result of this tie cannot be overstated; a tough away win againt a team higher placed in the league, a local derby as well, this was a great result for them. Now for Leamington....
