I was hoping to have an opportunity to use the historic 'Two nil or not two nil' chant tonight at the Phillips 66 Community Stadium, but in the end I had to be satisfied with a 1-0 victory for Leamington over Stratford Town in a highly competitive match.
In the first half, the Brakes engaging in some fluent play with some accurate passing and good balls forward. An early effort by the energetic Sam Austin was just over. It started to rain heavily, although it later stopped. In a move that started with a free kick, Courtney Baker-Richardson scored the winning goal for the Brakes on 37 minutes.
Leamington nearly scored a second early in the second half when the ball went just over from Lee Moore after two attempts on goal. Breeden nearly sacrificed the slender lead in the second half when he came charging out of his goal in his customary manner, but the effort by the Bardsmen was wide.
The visitors were more impressive in the second half and their vociferous supporters thought they deserved a penalty. Brakes start to play too deep, but they held on for the vital three points.
Attendance was 434 plus the usual dog who looked particularly alert. Leamington are now 6th.
