The Vanarama National League North fixture between Leamington and Gateshead has been rearranged again following the news that the Buildbase FA Trophy Second Round Proper (the round National League North and South teams enter) will not take place on the weekend of the 5th December. The Heed will now make the journey to Warwickshire on 5 December, with a kick off time of 3pm at the Community Stadium.

Details regarding the FA Trophy are yet to be finalised with the postponement of the competition due to the second lockdown stopping all non-elite sport, and we will bring news to you once dates are confirmed by the Football Association.

Today's fixture versus Chorley FC has been postponed after a member of the Leamington squad who is asymptomatic, has tested positive for COVID-19.

The above decision was made following consultation between the two clubs and ratified by the CMO of the National League.

The National League have confirmed dates for our rearranged home fixtures against AFC Fylde and Gateshead. The recently relegated Coasters will travel to Warwickshire on 24 November (7.45 kick off) for the first meeting between the two sides in five years when an early Danny Newton goal for the Brakes was cancelled out by four Fylde goals as they went on to win promotion.

It hasn’t been that long since the Brakes hosted Gateshead, the last meeting was actually in January 2020 as the sides played out a 0-0 draw at the Community Stadium where Gateshead will now visit on 15 December with a 7.45 kick off.
