THE CHAIRMAN’S

WELCOME

Good evening. Well after an eventful week off the field which has been well documented on social media the club ended it in a high with a well earned 1-0 victory over a good Biggleswade Utd side.

L au r e n c e v a u g h a n

Dw a yn e C la r ke

That makes it 3 out of 3 so far in the league this season with all 3 wins being well deserved. I could mention each player individually but my notes would go on and on so I will just say having been around football for a long time I have never been involved with a team who after being together for such a short time are battling for every ball in some cases when they have no right to even try.

Whether we win lose or draw I cannot ask anymore of the players as I can see the effort they put into each game and believe me when I say it is appreciated.

Behind the scenes the bar is slowly taking shape.

We now have a card machine which accepts contactless payments, Wifi has been installed and a huge bonus is the recent installation of Cable Tv which allows us to show all the live football this season as well as other box office and sporting events.

The bar is available to hire for any function up to 100 people and for September and October there is no fee for the hire of the hall saving you £150.

I'd like to offer a warm welcome to the officials tonight and to everyone contacted with Leighton Town FC and finally to you the supporters.

Thank you.

team was also named Ryman Division Two Team of the Year, and Paul Burgess was awarded Manager of the Year. They also reached the Fifth round of the FA vase, and the final of the Beds Senior Cup, but lost to Andover and Arlesey respectively.

The 2004-05 season saw the club placed in The Southern League East Division and finished in a creditable tenth place. They also won the Buckinghamshire Charity Cup. The Reserves won the Bedfordshire Intermediate Cup and the U18’s won the League Shield.

The 05-06 Season saw the Club progress again, improving on the year before, as they finished 8th in The Southern League West Division. After a poor start, League results improved and the side only suffered four defeats from the start of November until the end of March, a play-off place just eluding them.

After three excellent victories, interest in the F.A.Trophy competition ended with a single goal defeat to eventual semi-finalists, Borehamwood.

The Club also reached the Beds Senior Cup Final, but sadly they finished as Runners Up. The Club were relocated to the Southern League, Midland Division for 06-07 season but only one League win in the first six games and early exits in the two FA Competitions cost Paul Burgess his job in September. He was replaced by former Wycombe, professional Keith Scott, results did improve but it was a disappointing season, although Town did win the Bucks Senior Charity Cup. The 07-08 started brightly with the first League defeat not coming until midOctober. Three wins in the FA Cup saw the Club reach the 4th qualifying Round for the first time in it’s history. A 3-0 defeat to Conference South, Havant and Waterlooville finally ended the run. Keith Scott left in December to join Windsor and Eton. In January 2008, Assistant Manager Sean Downey was appointed as First Team

Manager and did a splendid job as the Club ended their League season in 9th place, winning the Bucks Charity Cup and reaching the final of the Beds Senior Cup once more.

The 08/09 Season the First Team finished 8th in the Southern League, Midland Division, achieving their highest points total to date at that level.

The 09/10 season saw Leighton once again finish in the top half of the table, when they finished in 9th place and they also lost the Bedfordshire Senior Cup Final to Southern League rivals, Arlesey Town after penalties.

Season 2010/2011, saw Town finish in 7th place in the League, gaining 69 points, their best performance since joining the Southern Football League.

The 2011/2012 saw Leighton finish in their lowest position for several years. 2012/13 was also very disappointing for the First Team as they finished in 20th place. However the Reserve Team finished near the top of their Suburban Division and reached the Semi-final of the Beds Intermediate Cup. Our Under18 side also performed well in both their League and Cup Competitions.

2015/2016. After 3 disappointing seasons Leighton finished the season in the bottom two of the Southern League Central Division and were relegated to the Spartan South Midlands League where they had last played in the 1991/92 season.

2016/2017. This was a disappointing season with the club struggling for much of the time after yet another Managerial Change. Things did pick up towards the end of the season and we eventually finished in 16th place.

2017/18 The club retained Scott Reynolds as Manager and believe this will bring some stability to the playing side of the Club.

We are hoping for a much improved performance this season but we are all aware this is a very competitive League and any success will be hard earned.

LEVERSTOCK GREEN

CLUB HISTORY Leighton Town, who were known as Leighton United between 1922 and 1963, were formed in 1885. They were mainly involved in local leagues until the outbreak of the Great War, and were winners of the Leighton and District League on several occasions.

Leighton were one of the original members of the South Midland League in 1922, which at the time was known as the Bedfordshire County League. They were also members of the Spartan League between 1922/23 and 1951/52, but their only successes being the Spartan League Division 2 title in 1923/24 and 1927/28. They were Bedfordshire Senior Cup winners in 1926/27.

In 1952, they became a founder member of the Hellenic League, but after two disappointing seasons, moved to the South Midlands League. In 19765/66 season however, the Premier Championship sat in the Leighton Town Boardroom. The club then rejoined the Spartan League in 1967/68.

Leighton proceeded to consolidate their League success by winning the Bedfordshire Senior Cup for three successive seasons in 1968, 1969 and 1970. Unfortunately, some of the successful players moved onto other clubs, and Leighton’s fortunes again declined. A move to the United Counties League proved disastrous and, after just two seasons, the club rejoined the South 08 LCFC

A WORD FROM THE MANAGER

KEN CHARLERY

Midlands League. During the ‘70’s and ‘80’s, Leighton were unable to capture the success of the ‘60’s.

Good evening ladies and gentlemen and welcome to Cotlandswick Park the home of London Conley FC, as always we appreciate your support.

In 1990/1991 the First Team won the South Midlands League Challenge Trophy and the O’Brien’s Premier Division Cup, both for the first time in the club’s history.

A very warm welcome to the match officials tonight and all connected to Leighton Town FC. The season has begun with three tough games none other than last weeks derby against Conley Heath where I thought the lads played some good football in what was a hard game.

The 1991/2 season was one of the club’s best ever. The South Midlands Premier Division title, which had eluded the club for so long, was won, and with it a place in the Isthmian League.

1992/3 saw the Club’s success continue when they won the Bedfordshire Senior Cup for the first time since 1970. The Club missed out on promotion in their first Isthmian League season by just a single point but the Youth Team retained the County Cup. 1995/6 saw the First Team win promotion to Division 2 of the Isthmian League, whilst at the same time retaining the Buckingham Charity Cup. The Under 18’s moved up to the Southern Counties Floodlit Youth League.

In the 1996/7 season, Leighton won the Isthmian League Associated Members Trophy for the first time. 1998/99 saw the return of the Associated Members Trophy and the Buckingham Charity Cup. Season 2003/04 was arguably one of the Club’s best ever, as the First Team won the Ryman Isthmian Second Division title. The

Considering that we have just come together as a team the result was a fair one with both my strikers on the score sheet and a good all round performance.

“ I THOUGHT THE LADS PLAYED SOME GOOD FOOTBALL IN WHAT WAS A HARD GAME ”

Last Saturday we were on our travels again against a Biggleswade Utd side who liked to play from the back, but we once again showed great character to keep a clean sheet and take all three points, 3 games in and 3 deserved wins with the team showing a togetherness and hard working attitude which most managers dream off.

We still have a long way to go so let's get behind the team again tonight and get another 3 points which sets us up nicely for another away game on Saturday against another local rival Welwyn Garden City.

Enjoy the game
