Leamington were outplayed as they went down 0-2 at home at the New Windmill Ground this afternoon to Stockport County in front of a crowd of 855. They were livelier in the second half as is shown by the fact that the half time scoreline did not change. However, a number of chances to score were not taken throughout the game.
The visitors went ahead on 11 minutes with a bullet header from a corner delivered into the net by Scott Spencer. The second goal was scored on 26 minutes, Collett fumbling the ball.
Stefan Moore let a chance slip when he dithered in front of goal. Newton just missed from close range, but it would have been offside anyway.
Bearded County charm merchant Steve O'Halloran received a yellow card for a foul.
After the break Newton somehow missed an open goal. Spencer hit the crossbar for County. The referee waved away a Leamington penalty appeal for handball. A double substitution for the Brakes saw Dodd taken off who had been one of our more effective players at least in terms of penetrating the County defence even if the final product was often not there.
Newton put a shot straight at the keeper and the crowd started to drift away as it was evident that even a consolation goal was not going to come.
