After having drawn their opening Southern League fixture 1-1 Leamington return to the fray tonight at the New Windmill Ground against Stourport Swifts. Swifts lost their opening fixture at home on Saturday.
Brakes have gone up to the next level with pretty much the same team as last year, although sweeper Jamie Towers was lost to Nuneaton Borough. Three players were brought in from Woodford United, but they do not seem to have been at a higher level than the existing players.
There were concerns about the quality of the central midfield on Saturday. Brakes also had difficulty in penetrating the packed Leighton defence. However, the team was weakened by suspensions, injuries and absence for a wedding.
The attendance at Harbury Lane on Saturday was the highest in any of the three divisions in the Southern League and higher than at many matches in the Conference North and South.
