A point in their final three matches should now be enough for Leamington FC to win the Southern League Premier Division and book their place in the Conference North next season.
Leamington, who won 2-0 at Chippenham Town tonight with first half goals from Johnson and Stefan Moore, could have won the league tonight if Stourbridge had slipped up at Arlesley Town.
However, a goal from former Coventry City youngster Ben Mackey helped Stour to a 4-2 win which keeps them six points behind the Brakes, ho have a game in hand.
