The Brakes go marching on

I am not looking forward to what I fear could be a hammering by Chel$ki on Saturday, but my football spirits were lifted by last night's FA Vase Replay at Harbury Lane. Leamington convincingly beat Loughborough Dynamo 3-0, starting with a superb Josh Blake goal in the third minute. My man of the match was, however, vertically challenged wing back Ben Adams. The crowd of 524 took great pleasure in chanting at the side from higher up the non-league pyramid, 'Midland Alliance, you're having a laugh'. The Brakes are now the only Midland Combination side left in the Vase, having won £1,000 for their victory and go on to face Bedlington Terriers at home in the next round (unfortunately it clashes with our away fixture at the Baggies). Bring on the dogs!
