Swinnerton double ends Racing Club’s losing sequence

Manager Curly O’Callaghan paired Luke Swinnerton up front with the returning Ed Kostiuk, but it was only when Swinnerton was returned to midfield that the goals came.

A poor clearance from the Brocton goalkeeper was calmly returned into an empty net by Swinnerton, who then doubled his, and Racing Club’s tally, with another fine strike from distance.

And following a disappointing run which had seen Racers slip down the table, O’Callaghan was delighted to stop the rot.

“It was nice to get the win,” said O’Callaghan.

“To be honest there’s been too much chopping and changing and we need to get a settled side.

“But we addressed the situation at the back and we were able to cut out the silly goals.”

Racing Club are at home tomorrow when the entertain Highway in the Coventry Telegraph Cup (2.15pm).

 Racing Club lost 3-1 at Atherstone Town in midweek, with goalkeeper Kev Tobin scoring their goal.
