We're targeting discrimination in football. Can you help?
We are taking a zero-tolerance approach to discrimination in football. We’re calling on clubs and leagues like your own to report hate, prejudice or discrimination whenever you see it or hear it.
For those people who behave in a racist, sexist or homophobic way, the message is clear. Enough is Enough.
When we know it has happened, we can take the actions needed to remove discriminatory behaviour. We'll be doing so through a range of punishments:
• Players will be removed from play and suspended.
• Teams can have points deducted.
• Grounds can be closed for repeat offenders.
Together we can end hate in football.
Spread the word that discrimination of all forms will be punished. Share with your welfare officers, league and club officials, and everyone across your league and clubs.
We want everyone across grassroots football to know... ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. TELL US, WE’LL TACKLE IT.

Beaconsfield Town Club History
Though formed as recently as the summer of 2017 the roots of Beaconsfield Town FC stem from Beaconsfield SYCOB which was founded in 1994 following a merger between Beaconsfield United and Slough Youth Centre Old Boys (hence the “SYCOB” in the Clubs name).
United dated back to 1921 and were themselves a coming together of two local teams whilst Slough Youth Centre formed their first football team in 1938. With Slough Youth Centre Old Boys unable to progress due to a lack of ground provisions and United themselves struggling on and off the field at the time the decision was taken to amalgamate the two clubs and so Beaconsfield SYCOB was born.
Initially playing in the London Spartan Premier Division, and with Fred Deanus as Chairman, Beaconsfield SYCOB chalked up a series of Top Five finishes before finally winning the league in 2000/01 under the guidance of Simon Delahunty. However, they were refused promotion to the Isthmian League due to some harsh technicalities over the terms of their lease. A further three seasons were spent in the Spartan South Midlands Premier Division before Beaconsfield SYCOB again won the league in 2003 / 04 and this time gained promotion to the Southern Football League (Division One East).
The Rams made solid progress in their early years at Step 4 and over three seasons played in three different leagues – Division 1 East, Division 1 West and finally Division 1 South & West from where they were relegated in 2006 / 07. However, the appointment of ex-player Jamie Jarvis, ably assisted by Peter Scott and with Bob Breen as Chairman, saw The Rams not only win the Spartan South Midlands Premier Division at the first attempt but also win the Berks & Bucks FA Senior Trophy and the Premier Division League Cup, a fantastic treble of silverware.
Promoted to Division 1 South & West, the club finished a highly creditable fourth place and made the Play Offs before losing out to AFC Totton. Moving to the Southern League Midland Division for 2009 / 10 and with Fred Deanus returning as Chairman, Beaconsfield SYCOB then went through a succession of managers, players, highs and lows until finishing in bottom place in 2010 / 11.
Only a reprieve and a league restructure saved The Rams from the drop but since then they have gone on to overachieve for a club of its size. Under the guidance of Byron Walton, they finished fifth in the 2011-12 season and lost out in the Play Off Final to Bedworth United. The following season and with James Pritchard at the helm they again finished fifth but lost out to Rugby Town in a Play Off Semi-Final though the season did finish with some silverware following a fine win over Chesham United in the Berks & Bucks FA Senior Cup.
2013-14 saw Gary Meakin take over as manager just five days before the start of the season and with only five players on the clubs books – to finish 8th and reach the Quarter Finals of the League Cup was a fine achievement as was a runner up spot in the Berks & Bucks FA Senior Cup, Chesham United gaining revenge for defeat twelve months earlier.
The 2014-15 season saw a partnership with the FAB Academy who provided the bulk of the team’s players under the stewardship of Andy Hurley and Nas Bashir. That partnership continued into 2015-16 season with Geoff Warner as manager as The Rams finished in a respectable ninth place whilst the 2016-17 season saw them under the joint stewardship of Andy Hurley and Leigh Wooldridge and ended with a 16th place league finish though a run to the Fourth Qualifying Round of the F.A. Cup was a “Best Ever” for SYCOB.
The 2017-18 season saw the return of Gary Meakin as the first manager of the newly named Beaconsfield Town, with Chris Coyle as Chairman. The Rams had virtually a whole new team and, helped by an amazing away record, they kept in touch with the League pacesetters to finally gain top spot on the last day of the season and claim the Evo-Stik League South, East title. Competing at Level 3 for the first time in their history in the newly formed Evo-Stik League South Premier South division, The Rams achieved a highly credible 12th place finish as well as reaching the First Round of the F.A. Trophy for the first time in their history, losing out to eventual finalists Leyton Orient.
The truncated 2019/20 and 2020/21 seasons saw plenty going on off the field as the club expanded with the establishing of an Academy as well as Under 23 / 18 / 17 and 16 teams and plans in place to add further age group sides as well as a Ladies team. A brand new 3G playing surface was commissioned over the summer of 2021 as The Rams look to build for the future both on and off the pitch.
In February 2023, Gary Meakin left the club by mutual consent and new Technical Director, Tristan Lewis joined as Technical Director, appointing Jon Underwood & Neil Baker as new Joint Managers for the remainder of the season. Jon Underwood took over as sole manager for the season 2023/24 but the club was unfortunately relegated following a disastrous end to the season, losing the last six games in a row. This summer the club took the decision to move in a different direction when Tristan Lewis recruited the vastly experienced Garry Haylock as manager with Sam Togwell as his assistant for the 2024/25 season.
Alan Lee Reporting Leverstock Green 1 VS Welwyn Garden City 3
Leverstock Green FC kicked off their first ever match at Step Four, and they made a good start as they took an early lead, but visitors Welwyn Garden City came back to take all three points despite being reduced to ten men before half time.
The visitors had the game’s first chance in the 12th minute from a corner, but Aiden Read’s header was headed off the line by Nat Connolly. Welwyn went close again in the 16th minute when a shot from Bailey Stevenson brought a good save from Alfie Bonfield. However, it was Leverstock who took the lead a minute later against the run of play. Leverstock broke away with Rawn Seale having a run at goal, and although Seale’s run was stopped by a defender, Ademide Baruwa won the ball back and beat a defender before slotting the ball neatly past keeper Donnabhan Green.
In the 29th minute Stevenson was denied again as his volley brought another great save from Bonfield. Six minutes later Leverstock were threatening again on the break as a pass from Luke Beckwith put Stefanoaica through on goal, but he couldn’t quite get full contact on his shot and it was gathered by Green. Five minutes before half time the visitors levelled the game as a free kick from Lewis Croucher found former Leverstock player Brad Wadkins at the far post, and Wadkins’ header was out of Bonfield’s reach and went in just inside the post.
There was drama in the last minute of the half as a loose ball from Ryan Kirwan put Rawn Seale through on goal, only to be stopped by a foul challenge from behind by Aiden Read. With Read being the last man, it was an easy decision for the referee to show Read a straight red card, and the visitors were reduced to ten men.
Leverstock Green FC were unable to take advantage of the extra man in the second half though, as is often the case the visitors seemed to play better with ten men. Stevenson should have put his side in front in the 47th minute, but shot over the bar from close range. Two minutes later a free kick from Dan Pett found the head of Callum Neal, but the header was just off-target.
The game could have gone either way at this point, but a crucial second goal for Welwyn in the 58th minute put them in control. Stevenson hit a thunderous shot from the edge of the box that gave Bonfield no chance for a 2-1 lead.
Beckwith twice went close to getting his side back in the game, firstly in the 63rd minute when his deflected shot was saved by Green, and again two minutes later when Seale set him up with a chance, but his shot was straight at Green. Substitute Guiseppe Delgaudio was through on goal in the 70th minute, but again his shot didn’t really test Green.
Wadkins came close to adding a third goal for Welwyn in the 78th minute, but his shot went just wide. The third goal eventually came in the 87th minute, and it was another shot from the edge of the box by Stevenson which took a deflection and looped up over Bonfield.
Despite putting some pressure on the visitors’ goal over the closing minutes, Leverstock Green FC were unable to get back into the game, with Pett coming closest deep into stoppage time with a shot that skimmed the side netting.

Alan Lee Reporting Leverstock Green 0 VS Aylesbury United 1
Leverstock Green are still looking for their first point in the Southern League after falling to a 1-0 defeat at Aylesbury United on Tuesday night, but they deserved at least a point after a second half display in which they were well on top and did everything but score.
The goal that turned out to be the winner was scored in the 5th minute of the game. Alfie Bonfield was off his line when Morrison Hashii hit a lobbed shot from 30 yards out, and Bonfield slipped as he tried to backpedal and couldn’t keep the ball out.
Leverstock came close to an equaliser in the 14th minute when good buildup play from Ethan Mooney and Rio Beach on the left set up Dan Pett for a shot which went just wide. Three minutes later Bonfield did well to deny Hashii from close range after the striker met a cross at the near post. There was another Leverstock chance in the 23rd minute as a pass from Pett put Luke Beckwith in on goal, but home keeper Jack Hopwood pulled off a onehanded save to keep out Beckwith’s shot.
The second half saw Leverstock much more on the front foot. The early introduction of Radu-Mihai Stefanoaica and Guiseppe Delgaudio gave them more presence up front, and Delgaudio had a half chance on 63 minutes from an Ademide Baruwa pass, but couldn’t get his shot on target. Four minutes later Josh Dooley got on the end of a Pett corner but his header was cleared off the line.
Jamie Breen came off the bench on 70 minutes and was another threat, giving the Leverstock side genuine width and pace, and he delivered a series of excellent crosses into the Aylesbury six-yard box, but nobody was able to apply the finishing touch.
Stefanoaica had his most threatening run at goal in the 90th minute, but his eventual shot took a deflection and was punched away awkwardly by Hopwood. Two minutes later Breen worked himself a shooting chance but was unlucky as Hopwood kept it out with his boot. Deep into a lengthy period of stoppage time there was a strong shout for a Leverstock penalty but nothing was given.
Aylesbury eventually held out for the win, but the Green side’s second half performance should give them confidence that goals and results will come soon.

Alan Lee Reporting Leverstock Green 1 VS Heybridge Swifts 1
It was another frustrating day for Leverstock Green, who turned in an excellent performance against Isthmian North side Heybridge Swifts, but couldn’t put away the chances they created. A defensive lapse in the second half allowed the visitors to net an equaliser which means that Leverstock have to make the awkward journey to the Essex coast on Tuesday night for a replay of this Emirates FA Cup Preliminary Round tie.
It started well for Leverstock, who put away the first real chance they created in the 16th minute. Radu-Mihai Stefanoaica’s put Guiseppe Delgaudio clean through, and Delgaudio ran on to take the ball past keeper Callum Chafer before slotting into the empty net for a 1-0 lead.
In the 22nd minute Stefanoaica played a one-two with Callum Neal before running on to hit a shot from a narrow angle that was cleared off the line, with Leverstock having a very strong shout for a handball, but the referee waved away any protests. Heybridge offered little threat in the first half, with their best effort being a shot from Alfie Cutbush that went just over the angle of post and bar in the 32nd minute.
The second half saw Leverstock continue to play well and create chances. A pass from Neal in the 62nd minute put Stefanoaica in behind the visitors’ defence, but his eventual shot was straight at Chafer. Two minutes later an excellent cross from Stefanoaica found substitute Rawn Seale in space at the far post but Seale’s header went over the bar.
Leverstock were denied again in the 68th minute when a header from Josh Dooley was cleared off the line by Joseph Adewunmi and again four minutes later. A flick from Seale put Stefanoaica away down the right, and when Stefanoaica’s cross came over Seale was there to meet it but his shot was kept out by a great save from Chafer.
Despite the string of chances, Leverstock’s lead was still only a single goal, and in the 75th minute they were punished for a mistake at the back. Alfie Bonfield did very well to keep out a point-blank shot from Andrew Fennell, but could do nothing as Ben Allen netted the rebound for the Heybridge equaliser.
Just before the equaliser, summer signing Alie Bangura came off the bench for his Leverstock debut, and he was quickly in the action. On 81 minutes a pass from Seale put Bangura away down the left to make a dangerous run into the box, but his ball across the face of goal was just behind Lewis Collins. There was a golden opportunity to win the game in the 90th minute as Collins broke clear and set up a clear shooting chance for Dan Pett on the edge of the box, but Pett’s shot went wildly over the bar. A minute into stoppage time there was an equally clear opportunity for Heybridge to win the game as a cross found Fennell at the far post with a free header, but it went wide.
Both sides will go into the hat for Monday’s First Round Qualifying draw, and they will meet again at Scraley Road on Tuesday night.

Alan Lee Reporting Leverstock Green 1 VS Heybridge Swifts 1
Leverstock Green turned in another fantastic display of unbreakable spirit as they came through on penalties against Heybridge Swifts in Tuesday night’s FA Cup Preliminary Round replay to set up an away tie at Felixstowe and Walton United in the First Round Qualifying. As in the first game Leverstock created enough chances to have won the game in normal time and there can be little doubt that they deserved to win the tie over the two games.
Leverstock picked up from where they left off on Saturday as they pushed forward with purpose. They should have gone in front in the 11th minute when a shot from Callum Neal was parried by home keeper Calum Chafer. The rebound came out to Radu-Mihai Stefanoaica but he couldn’t get his header on target. Two minutes later a pass from Jamie Breen put Guiseppe Delgaudio through on goal, but his shot was blocked, as was a follow-up effort from Luke Beckwith.
In the 18th minute Leverstock found themselves behind against the run of play, and it was a somewhat fortuitous goal for Heybridge as an intended cross from Tony Robinson flew over the outstretched arm of Alfie Bonfield straight into the net.
A further chance came for Leverstock on 24 minutes as a lofted pass from Beckwith put Delgaudio through again, but his shot was wide. In the final minute of the half Delgaudio had another chance after the keeper came out of his area to block Stefanoaica. The rebound fell to Delgaudio with a distant shot at the empty net, but he didn’t get hold of it.
Leverstock continued to impress going forward in the second half. In the 49th minute Delgaudio got on the end of a cross from Josh Dooley but not with a strong enough touch to divert it on target. Stefanoaica shot over the bar from a good chance in the 58th minute. In the 73rd minute skipper Dan Weeks delivered a superb cross into the box that should have been perfect for substitute Rawn Seale, but he couldn’t get on the end of it.
Finally in the 75th minute Leverstock made the breakthrough. A long throw from Seale was headed away, but only to the edge of the box where substitute Lewis Collins met it with a superb volley that gave Chafer no chance and levelled the scores at 1-1.
Three minutes later there was a chance to go ahead. Stefanoaica’s run into the box was thwarted, but the ball broke to leave Seale with only Chafer to beat, but he slotted his shot inches wide of the target.
Leverstock should have been out of sight by the end of the game, but the 90 minutes ended with the scores still at 1-1. Heybridge had a great chance to take the lead early in extra time but were denied by a great block from Breen. Other than that, the remainder of extra time saw little goalmouth action as both sides tired, and the tie went to penalties.
Leverstock went first, with Dan Pett netting, while Ben Allen replied for Heybridge. Alie Bangura scored the Green’s second kick, and Bonfield pulled off a great save to keep out Danny Nesbitt’s kick. Collins made it 3-1 to Leverstock before Nick Brown pulled one back. Ademide Baruwa took Leverstock’s fourth kick and was denied by a save from Chafer, then Luca Albon levelled the scores at 3-3. Rio Beach put Leverstock back in front, and when Lewis Browne put the fifth Heybridge kick over the bar, it was all over and Leverstock had won 4-3 on penalties, a great reward for a superb performance in a difficult trip on a Tuesday night.

A few words about KitAid
KitAid is a charity set up by, Derrick Williams MBE, who visited Tanzania on a WaterAid supporters’ trip in 1998. Derrick, being a mad footie fan, was amazed at the reception he received from children and adults in remote villages just because he was wearing one of his favourite football shirts (he follows Watford, Liverpool and Chesham Utd).
After two weeks in Tanzania, a flame was lit in Derrick’s heart, and he was on a mission to provide kit and equipment to the bare-footed children playing with footballs made of tied string and plastic bags. Twenty-one years on, KitAid has lots of volunteers and to date we’ve sent out 900,000+ kits to children and adults in 55 different countries across the world.
How to donate
If you’d like to support the KitAid cause, the easiest way to donate your unwanted football kit, in order for us to find it a new home.
Alternatively, if you don’t have any unwanted kit, but would still like to support us, we’re very grateful for any donations which will help to fund our annual costs as well as support other partnership charities where possible.
We thank you for all your support.
In working in some of the most under-privileged countries around the world, The Football Association is no stranger to seeing the impact the donation of something as simple as a shirt or a pair of shorts can make. KitAid has brought an enormous amount of pleasure and enjoyment to young and old alike through the gift of football kit and has shared the spirit of British clubs and the England team with communities in all corners of the globe. We are proud to be associated with KitAid and wish them all the best in their endeavours for the years to come. Jane Bateman, Head of International Relations, The Football Association

WHERE else in the world do players in the ninth and tenth tiers get the chance to play at the country’s national stadium?
That’s actually a genuine question as I’d be intrigued to know but the FA Vase has always felt totally unique.
This weekend the long road to Wembley begins for clubs in both the Isuzu FA Vase and Non-League’s other premier cup competition, the Isuzu FA Trophy. The Vase has always had a place in my Non-League heart. I’ve never seen my team win it, but it was the first ever trip to Wembley – a 4-4 thriller between Guiseley and Gresley Rovers back in 1991.
Those were the days of finals going to replays and Guiseley eventually ran out winners at Bramall Lane.
But that was the first taste of the competition and since then I’ve been lucky to see finals won by Diss Town, Tiverton Town (twice) the years away from Wembley where AFC Sudbury were unfortunate to be beaten three years in a row by Brigg Town, Winchester City and Didcot Town, before much later joining The NLP to cover it as a ‘job’.
From Whitley Bay’s all-conquering side as part of the Northern League’s dominant years to Romford lifting the 50th edition last season, it’s a competition that throws up wonderful stories every year.
If you haven’t checked out Phil Annets’ @favasefactfile page on X – formerly Twitter – then I highly recommend you do. It’s packed with stats and facts about the famous competition first won in 1975 by Hoddesdon Town.
In total 595 teams will enter the competition this year. By the end of the first round qualifying, 187 will be one step closer. Only eight more rounds to go before the final in May!
Thanks to Phil’s stats we know there are 51 Step 6 clubs guaranteed of progression with 44 all Step 5 ties. There are 92 ties with the chance of an upset.
The competition shows the vast depth of football in this country. Just think how many players will be representing their club in the Vase this weekend, with more to join as the early rounds continue.
Ultimately, in nine months’ time, two sides will battle it out on the hallowed turf at Wembley. Now that is special.

Under 18’s Team Fixtures and Results
Leverstock Green Reserves moved up to 8th place in the Herts Senior County League Premier Division, at the expense of opponents Oracle Components. A Jayden Newman goal and an own goal were enough for a 2-1 win on Tuesday night – a tenth win in the last 15 games for Andy Murray’s side.
Leverstock Green Rees moved up to 9th place in the Herts Senior County League Premier Division with a 3-1 home win over Baldock Town Reserves on Saturday. Leverstock raced into a 3-0 lead with goals from Alfie Herd, Joe Dalli, and Jayden Newman before Baldock pulled a goal back. There were no further goals in the second half.
The under-18s had a tough task on Thursday night, with several players having already played twice this week against a Tring side that were on the verge of clinching the Corinthian Division title. It proved too much for them as Tring won 4-0 and took the title.
The under-18s were beaten 6-2 at home by Berkhamsted on Monday night. The visitors were 3-0 up by half time and made it 4-0 before Leverstock pulled two goals back, though Levi Young from the penalty spot, and Kaashan Darr. However, two further late Berko goals ended the Leverstock revival.
The Under-18s were beaten 3-0 at home by neighbours Hemel Hempstead Town in Wednesday night’s SCFYL Corinthian Division game. It was a tough assignment for the side, with several of them having played the previous night for the Development Team. Hemel scored late in the first half, with two further goals late in the game to complete the scoring.
