Ten-man Benson Lions pulled off a shock as the Division 3 side dumped Division 1 outfit Coleshill United out of the League Cup with a 2-1 defeat.

A surprise was on the cards when Andrew Gibson fired Benson ahead with a superb 25-yard free-kick on 12 minutes.

Just before half-time, Benson doubled their tally when Andrew Morgan headed home a free-kick.

In the second half, Benson were reduced to ten men when Morgan was sent off.

Although Coleshill reduced the arrears when Nick Shipley put through his own net, Lions held out for victory.
