Hide AdOwen Treanor was travelling reserve and last week’s fly half, Finn Cassidy, attended to lend moral and vocal support in a crowd of close to 100.
Last time out saw easy victories by both of these sides over Coventry and Rugby district, as a result this match was billed as the decider and a tight game ensued.
Winning 7-5 at half time, the South team extended their lead with another try and a penalty to leave themselves two scores clear with 10 minutes on the clock.
Determined defence with the Leamington boys at it’s heart closed out the game 15-5 to leave South Warwickshire top of the League, unbeaten with only a final game next week against a Rugby District team yet to win a match.
