A game of two halves

Leamington beat King's Lynn Town 3-0 tonight at the Phillips 66 Community Stadium, all the goals coming in the second half. With England on tv, there was a depleted attendance of 345 and one dog, but a fair sized contingent had made the long journey from Norfolk.

In the first half the ball was played in the air far too much and the visiting keeper was only tested once.

Ahmed Obeng opened the scoring for Brakes on 59 minutes and he almost scored again immediately afterwards when he burst through and was one on one with the keeper.

Nerves were settled on 84 minutes when Courtney Baker-Richardson made it 2-0 and, then with the keeper out of his goal, Jack Edwards, who had come on as a substitute, scored the third.
