It was a good weekend for Leamington FC against the top two teams. First they withstood the onslaught of King's Lynn to secure a valuable away point and then beat Banbury United 1-0.
Banbury adopted the fashionable practice of playing out from the back. It's one thing doing that if you are a top Premiership side, another in tier two of the non-league. Some of their approach work was good, but their finishing was not clinical.
It was a fairly even first half and we missed one or two chances, but finally Louis Hall scored a debut goal just before half time.
We were forced back a bit in the opening phase of the second half, but then recovered and held on for the three points. The Banbury supporters kept directing a Onanist chant at the Hawk, but he was not put off.
Deserved man of the match award for Theo Storey.
The referee had a decent game, used his cards no more than he had to.
Despite concerns there was very little trouble but apparently the Banbury fans stayed chanting for 20 minutes after the game.
