Am I at the wrong ground?

That what was one wag asked tonight as Leamington beat Oxford City 4-0 at the New Windmill Ground in front of a crowd of 389 and one dog. I thought that I might be hallucinating as the Brake developed pacey attacks, passing to each other intelligently and even keeping the ball on the ground quite a lot of the time.

The first goal came on ten minutes when Lee Chilton forged through to score after the Brakes provided good approach play. Reece Flanagan then supplied a brilliant goal on 23 minutes, advancing along the goal line and getting past the keeper to score. The third goal came from Hicks on 36 minutes, a low drive into the corner of the net.

Oxford made a double substitution after the break and did look more of a threat. However, Newton put the match beyond doubt on 65 minutes when he scored in a crowded goalmouth following a corner.

There was to be no 'old five', but most fans went home well satisfied.
