Brakes return home empty handed

Leamington travelled back down the M6 from Walsall's Bescot Stadium last night without the Polymac Services League Cup having gone down 3-1 to Barwell. This was in spite of the fact that we beat them 4-0 at their ground (essentially in a suburb of Hinckley) near the end of the season. However, Brakes played well below their best and perhaps the fact that the match was postponed from last week meant that we had lost some of our sharpness. Tommo has certainly put on some weight. We did get back in the game at 2-1, but then Barwell were awarded a rather dubious penalty.

I was amused to hear that Boro are going after El Tel as their manager. Even though Peter Taylor doesn't excite me very much, at least he isn't El Tel or Hoddle.
