LOUGHBOROUGHDYNAMO

Loughborough Dynamo Fc History

Under Peter’s Management Dynamo finished the 2017-18 season fifteen points and six places better than a year previously, as well as reaching the Leicestershire Challenge Cup, going down 7-6 on penalties to Premier Division Coalville Town, after the game finished 2-2. Peter felt this was the best time to move on with Peter’s Assistant, former Dynamo player Lee Attenborough, stepping up into the Manager’s post. Lee has previous managerial experience at Leicestershire Senior League Sileby Town and East Midlands Counties League side Ashby Ivanhoe.

Lee’s first season in charge had its ups and downs but a strong finish, in which Dynamo won all of their final six games resulted in Dynamo finishing eighth in the league, only six points off a play-off place.

Seasons 2019-20 & 2020-21 were both cut short and declared ‘null and void’ due to the COVID 19 Pandemic. However when season 2020-21 was declared void Dynamo were sitting in second spot.

A return to a full season in 2021-22 saw Dynamo in the Midlands Division and never really threatening to get amongst the promotion race or be in trouble at the wrong end of the table. Ultimately it was a thirteenth place finish with 45 points. In the FA Cup there was a 3-1 exit at Cleethorpes Town in the Preliminary Round and also in the FA Trophy with 6-3 home defeat to Sporting Khalsa in the Second Qualifying Round.
