One is enough

A superb fierce second minute volley from Richard Adams was enough to give Leamington the three points against Oadby Town at the New Windmill Ground tonight in front of a crowd of 462, keeping them in contention in the leading places of the World Travel Midland Alliance.

I was hoping to see the ball I had paid £30 to sponsor go in the net again, but Oadby's inspired young goalkeeper Laurie Pearson kept the Brakes out, while the home side were only under pressure from set pieces so erratic was the Leicestershire side's shooting.

Not aided by a fussy referee, it became a rather dour contest and the North Bank was unusually subdued, inspiring the Sheepsiders to start a chanting contest.

Chant of the night: 'You just hit a sheep' after a wild ball from a Oadby player careered over the Sheepside.
