PAUL Holleran marked his 750th game in charge of Leamington with a 3-2 victory against Chorley in a thriller.

Goals from Owen Farmer and Tim Berridge put the home side in command before Ewan Williams netted after the break at the Your Co-Op Community Stadium.

The result means Leamington sit 13th in the National League North table.

Leamington broke the deadlock on the half-hour mark as Farmer turned Berridge’s cutback from the right into the net from eight-yards out.

And the Brakes doubled their lead seven minutes later when Berridge lashed a low shot into the net from just inside the penalty area after Chorley failed to clear their lines at a free-kick.

Chorley halved the deficit four minutes before half time as Kole Hall headed in a corner from the right via the aid of the post.




However, Leamington restored their two-goal cushion one minute after half time when Williams fired a loose ball into the net after good work from Berridge down the right.

The visitors responded five minutes later as Adam Blakeman drilled a free-kick into the bottom right corner from 20-yards out from a central position.


Leamington are next in action against Southport on Tuesday, March 4 with kick-off at 7.45pm at Haig Avenue.
