Stratford's first league game since early December was always going to be tough facing top of the league Leek, a team who have only dropped a couple of points all season.
The home side were on the back foot immediately, with lack of match practice clear for all to see. Leek scored 2 quick goals within the first 10 minutes, resulting from some slick passing in the final third and two well taken finishes. The third came after 15 minutes and that is how it remained. The second half brought a different Stratford, with polished passing from Coache and Black, but scoring chances ultimately proved hard to come by for both teams.
Next week sees Stratford take on 2nd place at home, with many positives to be taken from a stern second half performance.
