Latest results from the Tracey Thomas Leamington & District Football League

Weekly round-up for Sunday 14 November 2021. It’s week 11 and we have League and Cup matches so we start as usual with the Cup Competitions, and that starts with the Tracey Thomas Challenge Cup 2021-22 - Round 2

Heathcote Athletic 3 Warwick Printing 3

The Printers were ahead for one minute after Craig Williams struck in the nineteenth minute. Joe Carter with the Heathcote response a minute later. Kristoffer Burbury then gave Heathcote the advantage on the half hour mark, and then a goal each for evergreen Chris Collier and Cory Turner on the stroke of half time meant that Heathcote were 3 – 2 up at the break. With less than fifteen minutes to go Conor Smith pulled the Printers back level and that’s how it stayed until the final whistle , and so to penalty kicks.

Warwick Printing win 3 - 4 on penalties, and go through to the next round.

Leamington FC Vets 3 Chadwick End 6

Chadwick from Division 2 took on the high flying Vet’s from Division 1 here and came away with a well deserved win. “The best team we’ve played” was the comment from the Leamington Manager.
