A trademark Craig Nelthorpe cross found Jonathon Margetts free in the centre of the box, only for the striker to glance his header narrowly wide of the target.

Belper continued to dominate the early periods of the game and were unlucky not to find themselves several goals up in the opening half hour.

Alex Peterson came closest for the hosts in the 25th minute after a pinpoint cross from Nelthorpe fell straight onto the striker’s head four yards out from goal, however he could only head his chance over the bar.

In the 30th minute the game was flipped on its head when Kai Tonge curled a loose ball from the edge of the area into the far right corner of the goal, with a small bounce over Ollie Battersby’s hand being enough to beat the keeper.

Tonge was soon given an opportunity to double his goal tally for the day after the Colemen broke quickly from a Belper corner.

This resulted in the Nailers being short for numbers at the back and Tom Wilson giving away a dubious penalty. The goalscorer stepped up, but Battersby made a superb stop down to his left to deny the winger.

Belper started the second half in the same dominant fashion they ended the first.

Paul Hathaway had a sensational game in the Coleshill goal and denied Belper time and time again.

The Nailers had so many set pieces they had to start getting creative. That’s exactly what happened in the 58th minute after a short corner found Nelthorpe with some space to produce a deep cross which met Tom Wilson at the back post, unfortunately for him the keeper sprung into life and managed to catch his powerful header.

The hosts had to do something special to break down the stubborn Coleshill defence, so they made several changes in the hope of a goal.

Substitute Nathan Curtis was so nearly the man to make the difference after he produced a sensational deep cross from the right wing which found Peterson in the middle of the box; but again the keeper was equal to it and pushed the ball away.

The game was put to bed in the 75th minute when Tonge produced a moment of magic to undo all of Belper’s hard work.

The winger picked up the ball deep on the right flank, he managed to beat a man, cut onto his left foot and smash the ball into the top left corner leaving the keeper helpless.

In the 90th minute tempers flared after Corey Gregory was forced to the ground yet it was not deemed a foul and in fact was given the other way.

As a result things started to kick off between both set of players and that just about summed up Belper’s night. Frustrating.
