A DARK NIGHT FOR THE POPPIES

There was no joy at the Philips 66 Community Stadium for Paul Cox's side, a goal down in 30 seconds, reduced to10 men after 11 mins (as captain Michael McGrath saw red), and 0-3 behind at half time before floodlight failure, made it a 10:30pm second half kick off, was only half the story in this dismal  Buildbase FA Trophy 4th round re-arranged / switched game.  Connor Kennedy and Connor Johnson's second half sending offs made an extremely difficult game impossible for the Poppies as Leamington powered to a 3-0 win. Full match report to follow.
