Encouraging signs

Leamington beat Dunstable Town 1-0 at the Phillips 66 Community Stadium tonight and there were some encouraging signs in their play. The game was played at a fast pace and the visitors were a well organised side, leaving aside their inept left back who provoked some laughter.

Brakes stepped up the pressure in the second half, but it looked as if the deadlock would never be broken until Jack Edwards scythed a powerful shot along the ground from distance.

There were some anxious moments in the closing minutes when we were playing far too deep and inviting pressure. Even their keeper was allowed to roam all over the pitch.

A special word for Joe Magunda who made some excellent interventions.

Leamington are now seventh and three points off the play off places and King's Lynn Town whom we play on Saturday.
