Leamington cashed in one of their games in hand with a 2-1 victory over Kettering Town in a front of an attendance of 418 at the New Windmill Ground last night.
It was by no means an easy victory. Financially troubled Kettering had brought along a young side with plenty of pace who looked strong on the counter attack. Their keeper Yannick Nlate, who has played for Staines Town, made some outstanding saves. For our part we hit the bar in the first half and missed an outstanding chance to score in the second. The Poppies picked up three yellow cards in the first half through needless indiscipline such as kicking the ball away.
The visitors went 1-0 ahead on 18 minutes, but Berwick replied in a move from a corner on 25 minutes. Chilton scored our winner on 72 minutes.
The game against St.Neots on Saturday promises to be a cracker. The visitors have lost only one match away. They can score goals, but look weak defensively, having conceded 25. To my annoyance, I have to chair a meeting on Saturday afternoon and will miss the game.
