In the Southern Football League Premier Division match, Royston Town FC hosted and emerged victorious over Leamington FC with a solitary goal. The determining factor of the match was Royston's keen eye for the net, demonstrating superior accuracy with 5 of their 9 total shots finding the target compared to Leamington's single accurate shot from their 7 attempts.

While Royston's ball possession was marginally higher at 52%, resulting in a higher number of shots on target, what truly emphasized their performance was their clinical finishing. With 1 successful goal borne out of those 5 accurate shots, Royston's efficient execution clearly overshadowed Leamington's attempts.

The hosts also showed better defensive discipline, restricting Leamington to only 1 shot on target and drawing more fouls (12) from the visitors and making fewer fouls themselves (8). Royston's defensive solidity also reflected through their goalkeeper who only needed to make a single save all game.

In a game sparred by cards, with neither team receiving a yellow or red card, Royston also gained an edge through strategic substitutions, using all three available to them compared to Leamington's two. While Leamington did venture offside more (2), compared to Royston's single occasion, both teams' low offside numbers indicate a cautious approach in their attacking play.

In terms of set pieces, Royston had the edge in corner kicks taken (3) over Leamington (2), but the match lacked a noticeable difference in this department.

However, with Royston's solitary goal and their superiority in shots on target, goalkeeper saves, and strategic substitutions, it becomes clear that the home team was the more clinical and tactically astute side on the day, earning a well-deserved victory in this closely contested match.
