It was a cold night at the Phillips 66, but Leamington put in a sparking performance against Darlington to win 3-0. Brakes moved to 15th in the table and only three points off 9th place.
Darlington were late arriving after traffic problems, but came with a substantial body of support for a Tuesday evening in winter. They did provide some early pressure, but Jack Edwards opened the scoring with a header. He had thought he had got a second, but was ruled offside. He was only marginally so and there were calls for VAR.
From a corner, the ball bounced off the crossbar. For a moment it was uncertain whether it was a goal, but the lino ruled that James Mace had scored to give Brakes a 2-0 half time lead.
That was what we had on Saturday, but this time the only card shown was a yellow to a Darlington player. Carline scored his first goal for the Brakes to make it 3-0.
Although Darlington were capable of some fluent passing, Weaver was never really tested during the game.
