Nuneaton Draw But Leamington Win

Last updated : 05 October 2013 By Covsupport News Service

Nuneaton Town slipped to fourth in the Conference Premier League table after coming back to snatch a 2-2 home draw against Lincoln City.

In a game which saw a high police presence in the Warwickshire town following trouble last season, Wes York headed Nuneaton ahead after only three minutes but Tom Miller levelled in the 37th minute and John Nolan fired The Imps in front two minutes into the second half.

However, six minutes from time, Nuneaton's three game run of defeats was ended when Andy Brown headed an equaliser.

Leamington's long trip to Workington paid off with a late 2-1 victory in a Conference North fixture.

The Cumbrian side had taken the lead in the seventh minute through Jackson but The Brakes came back through Lee Moore in the 28th minute and in second half stoppage time, Richard Johnson hit the winner to give Leamington, who are now 18th in the Conference North table, a very welcome three points.
