Good to see Ahmed back.

Have to disagree with you on this one. In my opinion he's not good enough for this league never mind this team

Pre-Season Friendly – Saturday, 23rd July 2022

Halesowen Town 0 Leamington 1

Halesowen lost out narrowly as Dan Turner hit National League North Leamington’s solitary goal early in the second half, writes DJ. The pre-season friendly saw the return of former Yeltz manager Paul Holleran, who has now clocked up over 600 games in his 13th year at the helm of Leamington.

Home captain for the day Rob Evans blocked Simeon Maye to give Leamington a 14th minute corner in an evenly contested first half. Yeltz goalkeeper Dan Whitehouse made a tremendous save just a minute later after Turner did well to turn in the penalty area and Ben Usher-Shipway then curled just wide of Whitehouse’s post.

Halesowen’s first real chance came in the 16th minute when Simeon Cobourne fired across goal after being put clear by Max Morris. Jamie Insall’s 28th minute low, long range shot was then blocked and Cobourne went close again a minute later, but was blocked by Theo Streete. Just before the interval, Insall put Cobourne through on goal but the trialist Leamington goalkeeper saved in a one-on-one.

The Brakes took the lead two minutes into the second half after TURNER took advantage of Halesowen losing the ball to chip over goalkeeper Whitehouse into an empty net.

For the Yeltz, a low 54th minute volley from Evans was well saved and Insall hit a fierce shot over the bar five minutes later. Cobourne’s 61st minute shot was saved after he was set up by Insall and Max Morris then also volleyed just over the bar. After a series of substitutions, Josh Quaynor’s 76th minute free-kick was easily collected by the Leamington goalkeeper and substitute Matt Funge earned an 83rd minute corner. In the final moments, home goalkeeper Whitehouse did well to save after Kieran Morris’s back-pass fell short and Kieran Morris went close at the other end when Dexter Dudley-Toole headed on from Max Morris’s 88th minute corner.
