https://kitaid.net 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.

Dunstable Town History

Dunstable Town FC are now in their 140th year. A former home to George Best, Jeff Astle, Kerry Dixon, and more recently, Peter Kioso, the Club can boast a rich heritage, a proud past and nowadays the honour of being only the 46th club in the UK to be a completely fan owned club run by its fans as a Community Benefit Society (CBS) The purpose of the Club is no longer just to play football but to be a force for good in our local communities.

The Club is a legal entity & is regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority and supported as a CBS by the Football Supporters’ Association.

The Club now operates as a social enterprise. Between Monday and Friday, we run seven different groups for people in our local community who want to improve their levels of fitness, increase their social support networks and enjoy a safe space while in recovery from mental ill-health. All our groups are free to join and participate in.

The Club is now in its sixth year of supporting the work of Mind BLMK (Beds, Luton & Milton Keynes) as well as becoming part of the CALM Collective (Campaign Against Living Miserably) The Club has a specialist Mental Health Advocate who works with local mental health services and charities.

The move to become a CBS was necessary to ensure the Club survived. The financial effects of Covid saw the Club’s income halved and the difficult decision taken to fold the U23’s Development Team at the end of the 2019 – 20 season.

With no matchday income from the bar or food sales and no clubhouse to hire out, the Club relies almost totally on gate receipts, sponsorship, fundraising and prize money for its income.

The running of the Club was passed to the fans in 2017 after the wholesale departure of the Board, coaching staff and all but two of the players. A consortium of three local businessmen offered to save the Club, but on condition they would seek voluntary relegation from the Premier Division of the Southern League.

A group of 15 fans took over the running of the Club in order to keep it in the Premier Division of the Southern League and despite successive relegations the model of being a members’ run Club

proved sufficiently popular for the decision to become a CBS to be backed unanimously by the fans.

Fans now have the opportunity to become owners of the Club & buy a single share in the Club and receive exclusive discounts with local traders under the Blue Card scheme.

This model of Fan Ownership ensures that the Club will always stay in the hands of its supporters and cannot be taken over by one single investor determined to ride the non-league financial rollercoaster.

The Club now has over 330 individual owners who elect the Club’s Directors and vote on important Club policy decisions.

The Club appointed Joe Deeney as Head Coach in early October 2021. Joe had managed at Step 2 with Hemel Hempstead Town FC and had been Asst Manager at Oxford City. He brought with him an experienced back-room team including Kyle Durcan as his number 2.

In his first season Joe took the Club from the bottom of the table to a respectable 9th position and last season guided us to a 4th place finish, narrowly missing out on the play-offs by just two points.

Attendances have risen steadily with last season’s average attendance of 207 being the second highest in the League.

The Club is ambitious and wants to play at the highest level of football it is prudent and sustainable to do so.

The Club now has individual owners in many different countries and welcomes supporters of many different clubs who just want to support our community improvement programme, Improving the Lives of Others.

Alan Lee Reporting Leverstock Green 3 Ampthill Town 2 Leverstock Green progressed through to the next round of the Isuzu FA Vase, but it was a more nervy ending than it needed to be after the Leverstock side had established a three-goal lead in the second half.

A late comeback from SSML Division One side Ampthill Town threatened to take the game into penalties.

Due to injury and unavailability Fergus Moore was without his usual forward line plus three other players.

Two players signed on a dual registration with Hadley were brought in to plug the gap up front, and between them Jordan Edwards and Jayden Newman contributed the three goals that won the game.

Leverstock made a bright start to the game and went close in the 2nd minute when a deflected shot from Ryan Carruthers went just wide of the post. Luke Beckwith had the ball in the net in the 10th minute, but the offside flag was already up. However, Beckwith made a key contribution to the opening goal four minutes later. Newman made a strong run forward before Beckwith’s pass set up Edwards to shoot home into the corner of the net.

There should have been further goals in a first half that Leverstock dominated. On 25 minutes Newman went on a mazy run into the box and hit a shot which took a deflection, but keeper Ross Tompkins pulled off a great improvised save to keep the ball out. Three minutes later Beckwith showed some very nifty footwork in the box, and although he couldn’t get a shot away himself, he set up Edwards for a shot which went straight at Tompkins. On 37 minutes a pass from Beckwith set up a chance for skipper Dan Weeks, but his shot went across goal and wide. Leverstock keeper Austin Byfield had little to do during the half, but in stoppage time dived to save a shot from Sam Holmes at his near post.

Leverstock went into the break with just the single goal lead, but that was doubled in the 52nd minute.

Rio Beach pushed forward before a pass from Edwards picked out Newman to clinically shoot home the second goal. The favour was returned in the 64th minute when Newman crossed from the right and Edwards got on the end of it to head home the third Leverstock goal.

It looked like a comfortable lead, but two minutes later the deficit was reduced as Ampthill pulled a goal back, with Holmes applying a neat finish to a cross from the left.

The three-goal lead was almost re-established on 74 minutes as Newman hit a rasping shot from the edge of the box which struck the bar. Leverstock hit the woodwork again in the 84th minute as Mikey Havill-Tierney tried his luck from distance with a shot that struck the post. It still seemed inconceivable that Leverstock wouldn’t win the game, but in the 88th minute their lead was further reduced as they were caught out down the right. Byfield kept out a shot but could only parry it away, and Danny Watson followed up to net the rebound and make it 3-2.

Leverstock did their best to run out the clock during seven minutes of stoppage time, but there were still moments of danger as Ampthill threw everyone forward to try to take the game into an unlikely penalty shoot-out. Leverstock held out, though, and will now travel to fellow SSML Premier Division side Crawley Green in the Second Qualifying Round on Saturday 23rd September.

Man of the Match vs Harpenden Town Dan Pett

Vice President Jim Doble Ever present at all of the clubs games.

Alan Lee Reporting Leverstock Green 2 Harpenden Town 0 Leverstock Green continued their promising start to their league campaign as they registered an excellent 2-0 win against highly fancied Harpenden Town on Tuesday night. This local derby attracted an impressive attendance of 118 to the Lords Builders Merchants Stadium.

There was action within the opening 20 seconds as Jayden Newman hit a shot which forced visiting keeper Emmanuel Olajide into a save. Harpenden then had a spell of pressure at the other end, winning a couple of corners which were punched away by Austin Byfield. Chris Blunden had a shot at goal in the sixth minute which went over the bar.

The game then settled down into an even contest between two well-matched teams. In the 28th minute Newman got his head to a Dan Pett corner, but Olajide gathered the ball. Two minutes later Blunden swung in a free kick which Dan Weeks just failed to get enough of a touch on to divert into the net. In the 34th minute a move involving several players concluded with Blunden rolling a backheel into the path of Luke Beckwith, who ran onto take the ball around Olajide and slot into the net to put Leverstock into a 1-0 lead.

Two minutes later there was a scare at the other end as a Harpenden cross dropped onto the crossbar. A minute before the break Leverstock had another chance when a pass from Blunden put Beckwith in again, but this time his shot was kept out by a save from Olajide.

The second half was similarly evenly contested. Harpenden had a good chance in the 50th minute when James Ewington received the ball six yards out, but his shot went across goal and wide. In the 58th minute Leverstock should have extended their lead when a chipped pass forward from Rio Beach put Newman through on goal, but the ball ran just too far ahead of him and Olajide was able to come off his line and make the save.

Harpenden had a number of good opportunities during the half, but they were either off-target or comfortably gathered by Byfield. With 20 minutes remaining, Radu-Mihai Stefanoaica made his return from injury, coming off the bench to replace Blunden. In the 77th minute Harpenden rolled the dice by bringing on their last three substitutes on, but it was Leverstock’s earlier sub that proved more effective.

In the 81st minute Stefanoaica showed a dazzling turn of pace as he broke away down the right, outpacing the defenders before cutting in and slotting past Olajide for a second Leverstock goal.

As the visitors pushed forward during stoppage time there was almost a third Leverstock goal on the break. Stefanoaica ran clear down the right again and squared for Lewis Collins, but his shot was somehow deflected wide for a corner. The two goals proved to be enough as Leverstock’s all-round excellent team performance won them the three points.

Alan Lee Reporting Walthamstow 3 Leverstock Green 1 Leverstock Green’s run in the Emirates FA Cup ended at the Preliminary Round stage, but they put up a very good display against Isthmian League side Walthamstow in front of an attendance of 415 at Wadham Lodge. It was two mistakes late on which cost Leverstock their chance of progressing further in the competition.

It was Leverstock who had the game’s first chance in the 6th minute as a shot from Radu-Mihai Stefanoaica brought a diving save out of home keeper Matt Nolan. Leverstock had goalkeeper Austin Byfield back in the side after his return from holiday, and Byfield confidently plucked a few crosses out of the air in the early stages. In the 15th minute Walthamstow went close when Carl Mensah got his head to a cross but with not a strong enough touch to divert it into the net.

The home side went in front in the 24th minute. Jared Small beat Mikey Havill-Tierney on the left and got to the bye-line, where he pulled back a cross for big striker Duncan Culley to shoot home the opening goal.

Leverstock kept pushing forward, and in the 34th minute there was a promising moment when Stefanoaica was running at goal with Chris Blunden shouting for a pass, but the pass never came, and the chance was gone. A minute later Blunden had a golden opportunity to equalise when a chipped cross from Havill-Tierney found him all alone in front of goal with only the keeper to beat .Assuming he was offside, Blunden hit his shot straight at the keeper, however the assistant’s flag stayed down, and it was a chance missed.

A minute before half time Byfield pulled off a superb save to tip a shot from George Ironton over the bar, and in stoppage time saved a shot on the run from Damaray Anyadike. Between those efforts Rio Beach had a decent attempt for Leverstock with a shot from distance that went wide.

The second half started with Leverstock very much on the front foot, and in the 54th minute they got a deserved equaliser. Luke Beckwith sent over a cross from the left touchline to the far post, where Stefanoaica headed it back across goal, finding Dan Pett to volley home the equaliser from six yards out.

Leverstock lost Stefanoaica to injury in the 67th minute, being replaced by Lewis Collins. It was Collins who had the chance to put Leverstock into the lead in the 74th minute when he was through on goal, but his shot went agonisingly wide. That proved crucial, as within seconds Walthamstow were at the other end. Nolan’s long goal kick was not dealt with by Dan Weeks, and substitute Jordan Watson nipped in to steal the ball and shoot past Byfield for a 2-1 lead.

Leverstock continued to push for an equaliser, and Collins made a great effort to get on the end of a through pass from Pett in the 86th minute, but the defender came out on top. The killer blow followed two minutes later. An attempted clearance from Byfield cannoned off the nearby Watson, and as the ball rebounded back towards goal it was a race as to which of the two would get to it first, and it was Watson who got there to slot the ball into the empty net for his second and Walthamstow’s third goal.

Leverstock continue with cup action next Saturday when they host Ampthill Town in the first qualifying round of the FA Vase.
