In front of a crowd of 835 at the Mander Cruickshank Solicitors Stadium, the home side took a 12th-minute lead when Lee McGlinchey set up Tendai Chitiza to fire past Andy Wycherley.

The Canaries were level though 7 minutes before half-time when Brady Hickey headed home from a free kick.

Early in the second period, McGlinchey was foiled by Wycherley when through one-on-one but just past the hour-mark, Barwell took the lead with an almost carbon copy of their first goal when Hickey headed past Paul White.

Coalville equalised in the 74th minute when Tim Berridge poked the ball past Wycherley from close range.

Then, just 3 minutes later, a Chitiza cross was finished at the far post by McGlinchey to give the Ravens the lead.
