Racers misfire in opening league game

Racing Club look lack-lustre after good pre-season

Racing Club Warwick went into the league opener in fine spirits after a good pre-season but struggled to keep to form when it mattered. Jamie Smith looked lively early on and raced down the right for his shot to be saved and Checketts had a powerful header turned round from a corner but it was Bolehall who had the clearest early chances. Kyle Turner raced through but dragged his shot wide before Yonwin hit the post from ten yards, almost having too much time to hit the target. Just as it looked like Bolehall would take first blood, Malley should of scored when he hesitated and allowed the keeper to smother before Smith again got away from the last man and fired in a low hard shot across the keeper to make it 1-0 on thirty one. Things got decidedly worse two minutes later for the visitors when the Bolehall keeper handled outside the box and was rightly dismissed despite some very over zealous protests. Second half and despite having two or three good chances with both Malley and Smith hitting the side netting and substitute Mackenzie failing to hit the target after a great run down the left beating three men on his way, it was Bolehall always more likely to score. Racers stopper Caviezel-Cox produced a fine stop from a Goodby header and with the substitute keeper Obi coming up for a last minute corner to help rescue a point, Tom Starkey glanced a shot in from the corner to give Bolehall a deserved point in injury time. Racing go to Studley on Tuesaday night before entertaining Cadbury on Saturday.
