In a highly competitive match at the Phillips 66 Community Stadium tonight Leamington fought for a 3-2 victory over Kettering Town in front of a crowd of 545 and one dog.
After good work on the left involving Taundry and Moore, the ball was played into Jack Edwards on four minutes who put the Brakes 1-0 ahead with a good strike. Breeden made a great save to keep Leamington in the game. He was then in trouble when he challenged an attacker outside the area, but he was not the last man and the referee, after consulting his linesman, gave a yellow card. Breeden then got into trouble with the referee for time wasting.
Ogleby then got a yellow card for a foul. Kettering were keeping up the pressure and the ball had to be cleared off the line. Then on 35 minutes Brakes advanced down the left, finding plenty of space and Richard Taundry made it 2-0 with an excellent goal from a curling free kick.
HT 2-0
Things then went wrong early in the second half when Saul Williams scored for Kettering with a ball along the ground which was difficult to save. Kettering were then awarded a penalty which was duly dispatched. Ben Mackey then made it 3-2 on 63 minutes, making use of an angled pass from Ogleby. Both sides had half chances in the remainder of the game, but Brakes held on to take all three points.
