King’s Lynn too strong for Leiston as they continue preparations for National League North opener at home to Warrington

King’s Lynn Town finished their summer schedule on their travels with another win as the new National League North season creeps ever closer.

Adam Lakeland's side were 2-0 victors at Leiston on Saturday, thanks to goals from strikers Jonny Margetts and Gold Omotayo.

It wasn't the most absorbing pre-season clash in Suffolk but Lynn managed to keep a clean sheet against a Leiston side that included former Linnets Ryan Jarvis, Ismael Fatjado and Jamar Loza.

“It felt like a pre-season game, to be fair,” admitted Lakeland.

“I don't think we were particularly great all game, probably except the start - I felt we started quite well, a good tempo and moved the ball quite well, created a couple of opportunities.

“I just felt we lost our way a little bit, our shape wasn't quite right, the press wasn't quite right, kept turning the ball over.

"It won’t be remembered, I don't think, but I think you do sometimes get to a point in pre-season where games can be a little bit like that because lads are at that stage now where they're probably looking towards the first game of the season.

“We’ve got two really good friendlies to look forward to next week, which will be completely different challenges than what we've probably had in the ones we’ve played so far.”

Next up is a visit from Northampton Town on Tuesday night (7.45pm) before the pre-season finale against a Luton Town XI at The Walks on Saturday.

Lynn begin their National League North campaign at home to Warrington on August 10.
