Brakes Can Win Cup Games

Leamington beat Nuneaton Town 2-1 tonight at the Phillips 66 Community Stadium in the Birmingham Senior Cup in front of a small crowd (126) including one dog. It was a game well worth turning out for.

The impressive Jack Edwards headed Brakes ahead on 10 minutes, making good use of a corner. Then Ryan Rowe calmly converted a penalty.

Nuneaton pressed hard after the break and pulled one back on 54 minutes. They then hit the post and had a goal that came in off the post ruled out for offside. Having blazed over from a sitter, their keeper came up for a late corner from which Brakes counter attacked but were unable to score.

In the quarter finals now. Wolves at home would be good.
