....Premier Division Central club Rushall Olympic were beaten at Dales Lane by Southern Division One Central side Sutton Coldfield Town.

These two clubs were rivals last season in the Evo-Stik Northern Premier League Premier Division before the FA`s summer shuffle of clubs and the Royals` relegation.

Ironically, it was a former Rushall player who scored the only goal of the game!

A penalty was awarded in the 34^th minute after Jonathon Letford`s cross came into the Royals` box and the referee whistled for, presumably, pushing and shoving.

However, Smith gratefully accepted the opportunity to send Pics` keeper Joe Slinn the wrong way from the resulting spot-kick.

The Pics rallied in the final stages of the game but couldn`t find an equaliser.
