Leamington Football Club lost 3-1 away to Macclesfield on Tuesday 10 February 2026, a result that could further dent the Brakes’ hopes of climbing the National League North table and weigh on local supporters in Royal Leamington Spa.
The match was played at Moss Rose (commercially known as the Leasing.com Stadium), where Macclesfield struck three times to win 3-1. Leamington earned no points from the fixture; the result left them bottom of the National League North on 19 points, increasing pressure on the club as the season enters its run-in.
Interim manager Chris Knott oversaw the side as Leamington continue to adapt following the resignation of long-serving manager Paul Holleran. Holleran tendered his resignation on 31 December 2025 after more than 16 years in charge, and Knott has been placed in interim charge while the club prepares for the next steps.
Macclesfield’s victory underlined the progress they have made since winning promotion from the Northern Premier League in 2024/25 and moving up into the National League North. For Leamington, the defeat added to concerns about defensive stability during a period of managerial transition; the club’s goals-against record and league position highlight the issues that need addressing.
Local supporters will be watching closely as the club considers a permanent managerial appointment. Upcoming home matches will be important for Leamington to try to regain momentum, protect match-day revenues and keep fans engaged at the Your Co-op Community Stadium.
