A good pre-season for Leamington in which they have competed well against higher league opposition continued with a 2-2 draw against Blue Square North outfit Worcester City at the New Windmill Ground in front of a crowd of 246 this afternoon.
Pre-seasons are not necessarily any guide to the season itself but the standard of passing has been good and for most of the time Brakes have kept the ball on the ground with less hoofing than was evident last season. New giant but agile keeper Kevin Sawyer has slotted in well.
Good work on the right created an opportunity for Brakes on 7 minutes and Worcester City Welsh international Owen Goal was on hand to put the ball decisively into his own net. Worcester equalised on 34 minutes after they had sped down the wing through former Port Vale player Danny Glover.
On 59 minutes Brakes won a penalty taken by Matt Dodds who for me was man of the match. He slotted home but Worcester stepped up a gear and equalised on 78 minutes.
Things got a bit niggly in the second half and after a clash between Batchelor and Worcester's Matt Symons the latter, who looked as if he was on loan from the rugby club, left the field of play.
