Sutton Coldfield Town Royals 4-1 Redditch Borough

The Royals got off to a winning start in their first ever league game with a battling performance against Redditch.

Playing with the wind and slope in the first half, Sutton had most of the play but failed to convert any of their chances into goals.

A mistake allowed Redditch to take the lead but Sutton fought back to equalise with a trademark Corinna finish.

Sarah calmly slotted home a penalty and after that it was one way traffic as Sutton’s superior fitness levels and passing game led to further goals from Hollie and Laura.

This was a very impressive start from Sutton showing great character for a team with four 16 year-olds and an average age of 19.
