Brakes are hunting silverware
Having finished the National League North season in 13th place following their final-day 1-1 draw at Darlington, Leamington now wrap up their campaign with a clash against Nuneaton Borough in the local showpiece.
The pair met on the Bank Holiday weekend with Brakes running out comfortable 3-0 winners thanks to a Colby Bishop hat-trick.

“The higher you go, the fewer opportunities there are to win trophies and the harder it becomes,” he said.
“There are only a limited number of competitions that, realistically, we have a chance to competing in.

“They will have a few back while there are a few of ours who can’t play.
“We obviously want to win but, whatever, it is a good way to end the season.
“If we can look back and say we’ve improved in the league, sent a player into full-time football, brought some younger players through and then add a trophy as well then it will be a good season.”
