Brakes go 4th

Brakes went 4th in the National League North after beating York City 2-0 this evening at the Your Co-op Community Stadium in front of 675.   The early opening goal by Turner was particularly good and Brakes were 2-0 ahead at the break.

The Minstermen piled on the pressure in the second half, but Brakes stood firm and the visitors failed to take their chances.  Weaver was on top form and made one really outstanding save.

The Harbury Lane end sang 'You're getting sacked in the morning'' at the end of the game and that could well happen although York have a habit of sacking managers after a game at Curzon Ashton where they go on Saturday.

York have the second highest budget in the league. 

Viva Holleran!

Leamington manager Paul Holleran is featured in an interview in The Non-League Paper this morning.  He says that the FA Trophy win over Wrexham had all the hallmarks of what Leamington's season had been about.  It was one of the finest days in the club's history since it had been re-formed. 

He said, 'We've had to be resilient and robust, we've been very good in periods and scored good goals, we've been backs to the walls and hung in there.'

He singled out Jake Weaver and Sam Osborne for praise.  Osborne is already in the shop window and could potentially be joined by Weaver.
