Match Report

A late goal from new signing Joel Onu gave Leverstock Green their third win from four pre-season friendlies on Tuesday night.

Visitors AFC Rushden & Diamonds from the Northern Premier League Midland Division dominated possession in the first half, but Leverstock defended well, and might have snatched a goal late in the half when a great cross from Brad Robinson just eluded a couple of heads as it flew across goal.

The second half was more evenly-contested as both sides made plenty of changes. Onu went close to scoring in the 76th minute with a shot that struck the bar, but in the 83rd minute Leverstock struck on a quick break and Onu went clean through to deliver a superb shot lofted over the keeper for the winning goal.
