From the first whistle at 10:00 AM, the Colts were relentless, stamping their authority on the match and offering a masterclass in attacking football.

Opting for a classic 4-4-2, the Colts started with Jamie Aston between the sticks. The backline of Dylan Boffey, Ben Adesugba, Leo Rohman, and Joey Peplow formed a sturdy barrier, while midfield maestros Antoni Laczny and Max Wilson controlled the tempo. Out wide, Archie Kingscott and Taylor Williams were a constant menace, and up top, the dynamic duo of Finn Holt and Alfie Murray spearheaded the attack. The bench was stacked with talent, ready to make a difference when called upon: Janek Hart, Oscar Lawler, Jack Smith, Ethan Doyle, and Lucas Court.

The Colts wasted no time getting off the mark. Just two minutes in, Finn Holt latched onto a neat pass from Max Wilson and buried his shot from 18 yards. Kings Heath barely had time to regroup before Alfie Murray made it 2-0 in the 12th minute, finishing off some fine work from Archie Kingscott.

The Colts' third came on 29 minutes, Kingscott finishing off a cross from Taylor, further tightening their grip on the game.

Kings Heath managed to pull one back early in the second half, but any hopes of a comeback were swiftly quashed. Jack Smith, fresh off the bench, showcased his composure, rounding the keeper and slotting home in the 43rd minute to restore the three-goal cushion. Not long after, Taylor got in on the act, making it 5-1 with a confident finish.

Despite another consolation goal for Kings Heath, Coleshill were far from done. Archie Kingscott capped off his brace before Antoni Laczny put the icing on the cake with a well-placed finish after a clever indirect free kick from Taylor.
