at the grove. for game of the day in the step 3 northern premier league midland division. halesowen town, 2nd, and 9 points behind leaders stamford town, take on 6th placed coleshill town. 

the home team, the yeltz, won the fa vase consecutively in 1985 and 86 and they finished 3rd last season. top team gets promoted, with 2nd to 5th taking part in the end of season play offs. the colemen from coleshill are just one point outside the final play off birth. a local derby with 15 miles separating both towns. some tremendous thick black country accents on show too.


full time from the grove and a 2 nil win for the yeltz over the colemen from coleshill with goals on 53 and 57 minutes respectively. 

following a possession based first half with plenty of blood and thunder, but precious little quality. crowd 1105. 

stamford's 4 nil victory means they are 9 points clear of the yeltz with 3 games to go, meaning halesowen need snookers to gain automatic promotion and look destined for the play offs again. coleshill are now 4 points outside the last play off birth, occupied by boldmere st michaels, following today's defeat. great covered terrace, noisy fans with their own songs, great pie, pus 3 hand pulls on in the supporters bar. lovely stuff.

 at ewen fieles, home of hyde united for manchester premier cup final, fc united of manchester, 14th in conference north vs trafford, just outside play offs in step 4 northern league division 1 north.  fc won this conpetition on a barmy evening last may at oldham's boundary park, and with them having secured safety last week will be hoping to retain their crown.  trafford will be hoping to spring a cup upset.  but the weather is far from barmy here in east manchester this evening. late drama at ewen fields.  ft 2 each.  trafford better side in first half, much more cohetion, and appeared to watt it more.  2 each at ht, with fc coming behind both times.  traford man sent off in 2nd half which gave fc momentum but they could not make the extra man count.  game went to penalties.  this sparked panic amongst some  fans, some of whom hurried to the car park which closed at ten pm and aiming to avoid their car being empounded before the cut off time.    the rest of us charged down the ot
