Leamington secured three crucial points at the Phillips 66 Community Stadium this afternoon with a 1-0 victory over Southport. With most other games postponed, Brakes moved up to 16th, ten points above FC United in the leading relegation place.
The goal came after seven minutes when a mix up between the Southport keeper and his defender allowed Colby Bishop to score.
The strong wind did not make for accurate football, but Brakes were able to hold Southport at bay.
Doltish Southport defender Matthew Platt eventually picked up the yellow card he had been looking for all afternoon, but then Junior English was booked. A second harsh booking saw him sent off.
It wasn't a quality game, but the win was vital. Attendance was a disappointing 450.
