Not So Super

Leamington's chances of a play off place were diminished by a 2-2 draw at the New Windmill Ground against relegation threatened Swindon Supermarine tonight.  All credit to Swindon, they played with spirit and battled away, but Brakes needed to show more consistent quality.   With three matches on television, only 314 turned up to watch the spectacle.

The opening exchanges were scrappy with no real pattern, but then Chilton opened the scoring on 19 minutes with a real burst of pace.  But then the visitors equalised with a move from the left where Leamington always seem vulnerable.

Then Stephan Morley made it 2-1 before the break with a great strike from distance.

After the break Leamington really needed a 3rd goal, but were unable to impose themselves, their best chance coming when a header from a corner struck the post.

Supermarine then equalised with a well-taken free kick which went over the wall and beat Vaughan in the Brakes goal.

Even the rather flabby referee was getting fed up with the shouts of ****ing hell from Supermarine captain David Bampton at every decision but took no action beyond a talking to.

Leamington suffered a further blow when Jacob Blyth, who had not been at his best, had to be carried off the pitch.
