Khalsa Reserves 1 Bishops Tachbrook 2

Another early brace here, this time from Karl McGuire to put Bishops in front. Khalsa fought all the way and got a reward on 84 minutes through Connor Beckinsale but it was too late, as Bishops held on to take the points.

We move on to Division 3

Leamington Hibs Res 1 Blackdown 4

Brad Taylor put Blackdown ahead. Josh Shirley doubled the lead 5 minutes later. Harry Davies pulled one back 4 minutes later and that’s how it stayed until half time. An own goal on the hour mark followed by a Ricky Hooker goal finished Hibs off and Blackdown keep the pressure on at the top of the Table as Hibs lose ground.

VTS Warwick 1 Dynamo Leamington 5

Two goals in 4 minutes set Dynamo on their way. Daniel Blohm and Ashley Rowley on the mark. The second half was all Dynamo as David Briggs and a Roberto Ciuffini brace rounded it off. Dynamo stay top of the Table with games in hand.

Warwick Printing 1 Liberal Club C 2

This was a tight one until Matty Bemrose popped up with a minute left on the clock to take the points for the Liberals. Jake Murphy had put Liberals ahead but Josh Tiff levelled at half time. The Printers lose ground at the Top of the Table.

And Finally to Division 4

Sands United 0 Castle Rangers 3

A Tom Butterworth brace and one from Nicholas Bolitho were enough here for Rangers to take the points and move up into second spot in the Table.

Stockton 1 Warwick Boar 1

A close one which was to be expected here. Richie Davies had given Stockton the lead in the first half and Steven Nollett made it all square with 25 minutes to go. That’s how it stayed. Boar drop points for the first time this Season.

Warwickshire Police 3 Napton 2

This one was a cracker! Stephen Flavell put the Cops in front on 36 minutes with a header after Napton had a goal ruled out. Nick Brunton then popped up racing through onto a slide rule pass to make it 2 – 0. The boys in Blue thought they had another but that was ruled offside. Come the second half and cue the Napton revival. Bailey Searle found himself with acres of space at the far post and fired his shot past the stranded Police keeper. Napton were fired up and 5 minutes later were level. Another good move and finish from Christopher Watts and it was all square. The Cops were under the cosh and Napton looked the more likely to nick it. Then the Cops Richard Morgan popped up forcing his way into the box and slides the ball home from 8 yards. The last 10 minutes were Rorkes Drift but the Cops held on and stay Top of the Table. A great game to watch and well reffed by Ian Sewell.
