PREVIOUS MEETING
Our last game against Leamington was May 2nd, 2019, for the FA Cup, which was an away game which we ended up losing 4-1.
This game was the last game of our season in 2019 and unfortunately did not end up the way we wanted it to. The first half was goalless with both teams playing strong but reaching the goal was not in sight for either team. However, the second half really took us by surprise with 5 goals of the match being scored within 24 minutes.
The first goal, 52 minutes into the game, was scored by Colby Bishop who got the ball past our goalie Tony Breeden. 14 minutes later and 66 minutes into the game, Ryan Edmunds got the assist for the lovely equaliser from Taylor Allen. However, our luck lasted for one minute, because Ahmed Obeng scored in the 67th minute, changing the score once again into a 2-1 win for Leamington. 73 minutes into the game was another Leamington goal scored by Colby Bishop again and only 3 minutes later came the final goal of the match with another goal by Ahmed Obeng. With those 2 final goals from Leamington the score was too much for us to compete against so at full time the score ended 4-1 to Leamington.

LAST OUTING
Our game against Stourbridge on Monday was an eventful one but the full-time score of 0-0 does not reflect that. Even though we lost and broke our 6-game winning streak but did not affect our top spot on the table to be lost.
All throughout the game, both teams played extremely well with endless chances on both sides but credits to our goalie, Tony Breeden for not conceding any goals, likewise to the Stourbridge goalie. We had many free kicks and corners and in 90 minutes we played to the fullest, but we just didn’t get past the Stourbridge goalie, leaving the score at 0-0 in full time.
