Leamington secured an important three points with a 2-0 victory over Workington at the New Windmill Ground this afternoon in front of a crowd of 504. Both the home goals were scored in the first half and the visitors looked the stronger side in the second, although the strong wind did not help to produce good football.
Brakes went ahead on 10 minutes with an excellent header from Liam Daly into the top corner of the net which left the keeper with no chance. Visiting captain Anthony Wright earned a yellow card. Ricky Johnson drew a save. He then looked as if he had left it too late to round the keeper, but made 2-0 on 26 minutes. A Johnson pass provided another goal scoring opportunity for Magunda, but the ball was just wide. Johnson, who was in the thick of things, then got a yellow card for a foul.
Leamington gave away a careless corner and the ball had to be cleared off the line by Owen. Stefan Moore was through, but his finish was poor. Anticipating their second half improvement, Workington had a chance late in the half, but put the ball just over.
The second half was much less eventful. Workington made a double substitution. Mace got a yellow card. A Workington free kick led to a scramble in front of goal. Breeden, who had not that much to do, made a good save from a fierce shot from distance. Workington were passing the ball well on the ground whereas we were hit and hope, but they never really came close to scoring.
