Vanarama League North side Leamington FC stand between Witton Albion and a place in the Buildbase FA Challenge Trophy First Round, when the two sides meet in the final qualifying stage on Saturday afternoon at The Phillips 66 Community Stadium. Witton have already surpassed last season's campaign which was halted at the very first hurdle by fellow Evo-Stik Premier Division side Workington. Both teams go into the game in good form with Witton winning three of their last four games and keeping clean sheets in the last two, whilst Leamington have won their previous three league games. The two clubs have met once before in the FA Trophy back in 1983/84 at the Central Ground but our opponents were then playing under a former name - AP Leamington and the Midlands club prevailed on that occasion, beating Witton 4-3. The club have long had connections with the automotive industry in the past but and are known as "The Brakes." Leamington FC currently sit tenth in the Vanarama League North table but have yet to feature in the Buildbase FA Challenge Trophy due to being exempt until the Third Qualifying Round of the competition. Witton have performed well in cup competitions against higher-ranked opposition so far this season accounting for Spennymoor Town & FC United of Manchester already in the Emirates FA Challenge Cup so will not be fearful of competing against another team from the same division again. Leamington FC's last three victories have all been tight affairs and won by the odd goal, two of them being decided in the last ten minutes. So this game will be keenly contested and who's to say that Witton can't reach the first round proper for the second time in three seasons. Kick off at The Phillips 66 Community Stadium is 3pm.
