Our live feed has now finished.

  • FULL-TIME: City 3 (Birley 61, Turton 71, Tomkinson 82) Highgate 0
  • THREE moments of sizzling quality settled a heated-but-scrappy battle to keep alive City's slim promotion chances.
  • Highgate spent much of the first 20 minutes on top but were guilty of indulging needless ill discipline which made the play fractious.
  • City looked more composed in the second half with Mat Birley rifling inside the near post from Jamie Smith's low cutback just past the hour.
  • Highgate's brightest spark George Curry pelted the upright a minute later but that was about all they offered.
  • Nick Turton scored his first City goal, rounding off an incisive break involving Dave Reynolds and Alex Tomkinson.
  • The game was up with eight minutes to go with Reynolds rolling into Birley who fed Tomkinson to beat Brad Catlow at the near post.
  • Highgate's loss also meant Bromsgrove Sporting, 3-1 winners at Loughborough University, won the Midland Football League.
  • City: Przybek, Keasey, J Smith, Stoddart, M Smith, N Hayward, Birley, Forsyth, Turton, Reynolds, Tomkinson.
  • Subs: Baldwin, Gomes, Ambalu, Robinson, Danks.
