🔥 Leamington FC (5) vs Rugby Borough (1) — The Brakes Ignite! 🔥

A Performance the Fans Will Never Forget

The roar around the ground said it all — the Brakes are BACK, and they’re back in spectacular style.

Fresh from a sharp midweek training session where intensity was sky‑high and confidence was quietly building, the team stepped onto the pitch knowing something special was brewing. A long spell without a win had tested them, but the fans never wavered. Week after week, they showed up, clapped, encouraged, believed.

Today, their loyalty was rewarded.

Today, the Brakes delivered a performance worthy of every cheer, every chant, every ounce of support.

⚡ A Lightning Start

From the very first whistle, Leamington looked electric. The passes were crisp, the movement was sharp, the pressing relentless. It felt like a goal was coming — the only question was how soon.

Answer: four minutes.

Mahan, drifting inside with trademark swagger, slipped a perfect ball into Zac. One touch, one cool finish. 1–0. The stadium erupted.

Tommo, channelling last week’s form and then some, was the heartbeat of midfield — crunching tackles, threading passes, bossing the pitch. Rugby Borough had no answers.

🔥 Zac Takes Over

Leamington smelled blood, and they didn’t hesitate.

At 11 minutes, Zac struck again, burying his second and sending the Brakes fans into chaos.

2–0, and The Brakes were flying.

The defenders were brick walls, the wingers were tearing through space, and Rugby Borough had barely crossed the halfway line.

🎇 Arjun’s Magic Moment

With Mahan and Atticus earning a breather, Arjun and Elyas entered the fray — and what an entrance it was.

Arjun danced through the Boro defence like he owned the place, skipping past challenges, carving out room where none existed, and smashing home into the corner.

3–0. Fans on their feet.

A moment of brilliance.

And just before half-time — the moment everyone could sense coming…

Zac completes his first hat-trick!

A lethal finish, a huge celebration, and a wave of pride from the crowd.

A young player living the dream.

But that was the end of Borough’s joy.

Leamington regained control instantly, hammering the post, smacking the bar, and carving open chance after chance. The crowd sensed more goals — and they were right.

💥 Mahan Returns With a Bang

Back on the pitch and brimming with energy, Mahan looked like a man on a mission. Two minutes later, mission accomplished.

Spotting the keeper off-balance, he unleashed a rocket from outside the box — low, powerful, unstoppable.
