Full-Time: Diamonds get first points of the season with 2 1 win against Coleshill. Tom Lorraine leapt into the air on final whistle and Michael Harriman collapsed to the ground. Chairman Rob looking ecstatic too. Fans mob players in front of Peter De Banke. Wow - so so deserved.
What a performance from the team as they lead twice against the now former league leaders!
We looked to have caused the upset but were pegged back at the death…
Up the Diamonds 💎
