We have beaten Basford United, St Neots and Bradford PA to get through to the First Round stage whilst Leamington, who entered in the last round, defeated their league rivals Curzon Ashton 3-1.

Our last fixture against Leamington was in the 2016/17 pre-season when we won 4-1 at the New Windmill Ground thanks to goals from Chris Lait (2), Jake Heath and Brad Birch.

The last competitive meeting between the two sides came in the 2012/13 Southern League campaign when Stour won 5-1 at Amblecote on January 6th.

We drew 1-1 at Leamington in the League that season while also playing them twice in the FA Cup (drew 2-2 away, lost 1-2 at home) and League Cup (1-2 home defeat).

Our last FA Trophy game against Leamington was in 2009/10 when we won 2-1 away in the First Round Qualifying.

Some Stour supporters may also have some fond memories of the New Windmill Ground from back in 2007/08 when we were victorious in the Southern League Division One Midlands play-off final, beating Leamington 2-1 thanks to a Leon Broadhurst strike towards the end of extra time.
