Seems to be playing bedworth united in southern league:
Bedworth United 0 Nuneaton Town 2
BEDWORTH United pushed Nuneaton Town all the way -but they were beaten by two second half goals on Saturday as Boro ran out 2-0 winners.
The Greenbacks were the better side in the first half but the superior fitness levels of the Blue Square North side told as they scraped the win through goals from Aden Moore and James Armson.
Nuneaton looked to be missing the influence of Kyle Storer in midfield, while Bedworth had the two outstanding players on the pitch in centre-half Adam Cooper and midfielder Jai Stanley.
Boro started with a 4-4-2 formation with Lee Moore on the right wing and Tom Bates, who remains a trialist, on the left.
The other trialist to play was keeper Danny Alcock. Bedworth had former Nuneaton hero Gez Murphy on the bench. Right winger Alex Dean was up against twin brother and Boro centre-half Gareth Dean for the first time.
Bedworth were without doubt the better side in the first half with the front pair of Jacob Blyth and Mark Withers causing plenty of problems.
Withers, the kind of niggly player the opposition hate, had the ball in the back of the net twice but each time it was ruled out for offside.
On the first occasion Withers clattered into Alcock and aimed a petulant kick at the keeper as he got up.
That was symptomatic of a physical first half with Bedworth�s Sean Coleman and Ryan Scott rattling into tackles.
Stanley pulled the strings in the midfield and he was unlucky with an outrageous shot from a 45-yard free-kick which Alcock saved.
Boro were ineffective in attack and as a consequence created little. Their best efforts saw a Lee Moore shot blocked and Jack Wear make a smart save from an Adam Walker shot.
The second was a dull as pre-season gets until Boro took a undeserved lead. It was a poor goal for Bedworth to concede as Eddie Nisevic drove into the box and saw a shot loop up in the air.
Wear fumbled to the ball and it dropped for Aden Moore to stab in from a yard.
From there fitness told as Boro created chances. Simon Forsdick blazed over, Rob Oddy saw a shot well saved and Armson saw a shot rebound off the post.
Armson got his goal in stoppage time though as Bedworth switched off from a corner and the midfielder side footed in from 10 yards.
