Coventrians 0-1 Sutton Coldfield Town Royals

Another solid performance from The Royals saw them consolidate their position at the top of the table

Playing up the slope and against a strong wind, Sutton started brightly and created several half-chances early on

Whitehouse went close when a drive from just inside the box came back off the post into the keepers arms

Sutton restricted Coventrians to long-balls and Cresswell in the Sutton goal was largely untroubled

The second-half was a lively encounter with Coventrians forced to run the ball up the hill and stretching Suttons back-four

The Royals created a number of clear chances but were thwarted by a combination good defending,
the width of a post and a goal-line clearance

Sutton’s superiority eventually paid off when, after good work by Davis and Williams, Alisha George
drove a 25-yard ball under the keeper

Sutton had chances to extend the lead but ran out worthy winners against spirited opponents

Notable performances from Bates at the back making her debut and Whitehouse with her drive and
energy

Player-of-the-match was George who sealed the victory
