Rolleston Charity Cup Round One
HOLWELL SPORTS 0 OADBY TOWN 0
Oadby won on penalties
The hosts were forced to play more than an hour with 10 men after Steve Smith was red-carded for two bookable offences.
But they responded magnificently, especially the back four who kept a tight rein on the Midland Alliance side's forwards.
