Racing away with it

Wednesday 10 October 2023, Easington Sports 1 Racing Club Warwick 3 - UCL Premier League, South, Addison Road

Basic ground, but as dark and very wet - did not explore much, good use of local school for car park, small club house and hot food and drinks also on sale. Small seated stand on one side and a covered terrace behind one goal, with home fans also crammed into the small bit of cover outside the clubhouse. Warwick had a good sized away support in attendance.

Warwick looked  a good team right from kick off and opened the scoring on 9 minutes, whilst the home team appealed for offside. Warwick then dominated the game but cuuld not add to their score. With just a minute left in the half, against the run of play a defensive error saw Easington get back on level terms. However all this seemed to do was remind Warwick how good they are and they quickly added two further goals in the last minute of the half!

Warwick still on top in the second half but they did sit back, and put in place 'game management' modern term for time wasting. Easington did have more of the ball but other than a disallowed goal did not make the most of it. Warwick may have sat back but still had numerous chances to add further goals ( which they never took).
