Brakes looked good, with firepower coming from all angles. Mark Bellingham's intelligent running dragged defenders all over the place and created huge gaps for youngsters Luke Corbett and Mykel Beckley.

Manager Jason Cadden said: "The lads worked extremely hard for each other and we rarely allowed ourselves to be put off by Bromsgrove. The result was never in doubt."

Brakes were ahead after just three minutes. Marcus Jackson sent a short corner to James Husband, who crossed beyond the far post where Corbett headed back for Beckley to pick his spot.

Rovers levelled with 16 minutes gone from a right-wing corner. The defence left two attackers free at the far post and Courtney Shaw's shot was deflected past Richard Morris by captain Guy Sanders into his own net.

Leamington forced another corner and Corbett found Bellingham, who turned his marker and put his shot straight into keeper Jimmy Dormand's hands.

With Bellingham making diagonal runs pulling defenders in all directions, Corbett took advantage of the gaping hole to slam an unexpected 30-yard shot with Dormand off his line. The ball took the paint off the outside of the post.

Almost at once Corbett came close with another long-range effort before the second goal came on 31 minutes. Man of the match Adam Cooper powered forward and fed Beckley, who held play up before finding Corbett for a precision finish.
It was Beckley's turn to try a first timer and it flew over the angle with Dormand a spectator as Leamington put on a sustained attacking spell. Martin Hier cleanly won a great tackle only for the referee to award a dubious free-kick which Birley fired two yards wide.

Then Jackson did a great piece of back tracking to deny Birley, who was having a good game for the home side.

The first substitution was made on 46 minutes with Keenen Meakin-Richards replacing Sam Alsop and, three minutes later, Rovers won a corner which Shaw whipped in and Morris was forced to tip over the bar.

A Bellingham free kick was curled wide of the near post and, after Cornes was booked, Sanders belted the free kick into the wall and Jamie Towers sent the rebound over the top.

Brakes again went forward through Husband who shot for the far post, where Beckley trapped and fired the ball all in one movement, forcing Dormand into another competent save.

It was all over on 70 minutes when Towers crossed to the far post and Bellingham climbed to head back across Dormand to put the ball in the corner of the net.
