Match Report - Coggeshall Town Reserves v Reserve Team
Back in action after the mid winter snow break, the Ressies made the short journey to Coggeshall.

Taken from Barnston AFC match report on the game:
"Full credit to the home goal keeper who had a very good game and pulled off two fantastic saves from one on one positions. Also, our appreciation goes to Earls Colne for providing a wonderful surface to play on, and for some very warm hospitality...
