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.

Visiting 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. League
In 1952, they became a founder member of the Hellenic League, but after two disappointing seasons, moved to the South Midlands League. In 1965/66 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 on to 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 Midlands League. During the ‘70’s and ‘80’s, Leighton were unable to capture the success of the ‘60’s.
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.
The 1991/2 season was one of the club’s best. 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.
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 Leighton won the Ryman Isthmian Second Division title. They were 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, before losing to Andover and Arlesey Town 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 SCYFL League Shield.
The 05-06 Season saw the Club progress again, improving on the year before, as they finished 8th in The Southern League Western 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 FA.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 again 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 mid-October. 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 then 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 a poor season 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.
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.
2016/2017 This was a disappointing season with the club struggling for much of the time after yet another Managerial Change.
2017/18 The club retained Scott Reynolds as Manager and finished 4th in the League and reached the Quarter Finals of the FA VASE. Gates improved and it was our best season for about 8 years,
2018/2019 Manager, Scott Reynolds resigned in the close season and Danny Nicholls was appointed as Manager but left in October due to work commitments. The Club then appointed Joe Sweeney and Paul Copson, who had previously won the Premier division title with London Colney as the new Management Team.
2019/2020 Was a good season for the Club as we again reached the Quarter Final of the FA Vase and after a slow start in the League the team started to find some good form as we slowly climbed up the table. The team were also awarded the Team of the Month twice.
2020/2021 Town for the third time in 4 seasons reached the Quarter Final of the FA Vase but sadly lost out to 2 late penalties.
2021/2022 We eventually finished 4th in the table after a mid season Management change Lee Bircham was appointed Manager and after the disappointment of losing our previous 4 Beds Senior Cup Final we won
the Trophy by beating Southern League Div 1 Champions, Bedford Town on penalties after the game had ended in a 2-2 draw.
2022/2023 season was our best for many years with First Team winning the Spartan South Midlands Premiership Title and completing a double by winning the Premier Division League Cup. Our Development team in their first season also gained promotion from Spartan League Division 2. The Under 18 made it a great season for the club by winning the Corinthian Division of the SCYFL and then winning the Beds Under 18 Cup.
After winning the Premier Division Cup , Manager,Lee Bircham announced that he was leaving the club to join Bedford Town along with his assistant Tony Joyce and coach Sam Pateman. Sean Downey and John McLoughlin were quick to start interviewing suitable applicants for the job and eventually Gary Flinn and Gary Chance were appointed,after steering Newport Pagnell to 2 consecutive FA Vase Finals in 2022 and 2023. Winners 2002 Runners Up 2023 ..
Season 2023/2024
The season ended with us just above the relegation places after some disappointing results in the last couple of months when injuries and a loss of form saw us drop from mid table to the lower end of the table, our managers have been working hard in pre season to attract players to the club and we are sure that the new season will be better with the new additions to the side..
Season 2024/225 After 6 games without a win it was decided a change of management was needed and Guy Kefford took overboard as Interim Manager, 3 games were won and things looked up,.. Guy then stepped down as Paul Reed took over as 1st Team Manager assisted by Kyle Durcan and Ryan Young. From January, Town only lost 1 of their next 16 games as they started to climb the table but lost 3 of their last 5 games and finished in 7th place which was a very creditable performance after the poor start to the season.

Biggleswade Town 5 vs 3 Leverstock Green Match
Report
Leverstock Green were 2-0 up inside seven minutes in Saturday’s game at Biggleswade Town, but they ultimately paid for their defensive frailty and, like last week at Lowestoft, a disappointing second half display saw them end up on the losing side. The game was barely over a minute old when Leverstock went in front. A cross from Callum Neal was blocked, but Ethan Mooney chased the ball and, just before it crossed the bye-line, clipped over a cross which found Jeffrey Sekyere coming in at the far post to apply the finishing touch.
It got even better for Leverstock in the 7th minute when a wellworked move culminated with Iker Noguera Leon finding Juan Pablo Velasco on the edge of the penalty area to hit a low shot which went in off the post for a 2-0 lead.
However, the home side hit back and were soon back in the game. In the 12th minute they pulled a goal back when Ebenezer Kufour showed persistence inside the box to shake off a couple of challenges before slotting the ball past Harry Way. And in the 17th minute Leverstock were unable to clear a corner, and Lynton Goss forced the ball home from close range in the ensuing scramble.
Having levelled the scores they could have gone in front in the 22nd minute, but shot over the bar from a good chance inside the box. Instead, the game see-sawed back in the direction of Leverstock. They should have been back in front in the 30th minute when a pass from Dan Pett allowed Leon to easily beat the home side’s high line
and go clean through on goal, but his eventual shot was slotted inches wide of the post. Leon didn’t have long to mull over his missed chance. Within two minutes Joe McCarthy was brought down on a run into the box, and the referee awarded Leverstock a penalty. Leon stepped up to take the spot kick, and despite the best efforts of the Biggleswade players to unsettle him, buried the penalty to put Leverstock back in front at 3-2.
Leverstock held their lead until half time, and might have extended it in the 50th minute when Sekyere had a run at goal, but his eventual shot was saved. They were forced into a change in the 54th minute after Velasco picked up a needless yellow card for kicking the ball away and was in danger of being provoked into a second yellow by the home side. Marcus Warren, who rejoined the club this week, came on to replace him.
Biggleswade were having most of the ball in the second half, and their pressure told in the 63rd minute when Liam Andrews met a corner unchallenged to level the scores at 3-3. Two minutes later they were in front when a ball across goal found Goss in space to shoot home his second of the game from close range.
Having taken the lead, the home side then did their utmost to slow the game down with constant time-wasting tactics. Warren came closest to getting Leverstock back in the game with a shot in the 68th minute that went just wide. Other than that, the Green side were unable to create much, and when Alfie Powell headed home unchallenged from a corner in the 80th minute to make it 5-3, the game was over. To add to Leverstock’s problems, Warren was shown a straight red card in stoppage time for words to the referee.

St Margaretsbury 0 vs 3 Leverstock Green Reserves
Leverstock Green Reserves ended a run of five games without a win with a 3-0 victory away to St Margaretsbury in Tuesday night’s HSCL Premier Division game. With the Under-18s having an FA Youth Cup tie in two days, a number of first team squad players were brought in to get some minutes, and there were two new signings.
Justin Dass put Leverstock into the lead in the 6th minute with a shot from the edge of the box, and Oliver Glimas made it 2-0 in the 27th minute with a long-range shot. Dass came close to adding his second in first half stoppage time, hitting the post with a shot after the keeper had saved his first effort.
The third goal came in the 83rd minute as Glimas crossed for skipper Brandon Bromyard to head home at the far post. Substitute Oscar Roe was unlucky in the 88th minute with a shot that hit the inside of the post and came out.

Flackwell Heath 1 vs 1 Leverstock Green
Leverstock Green came away with a point from a hardfought Southern League Division One Central match at Flackwell Heath on Saturday. As has been the case in all of Leverstock’s league games since the opening 0-0 draw, they scored the game’s first goal, but having been pegged back in the second half they held on to claim a deserved point.
Fergus Moore added more experience to his back line with the signing of the much-travelled Tommy Boxer during the week, and the big central defender gave an assured performance on his debut.
The home side came close to opening the scoring in the 11th minute on a counter-attack. Eli Grant was found in space on the far side of the penalty area, and pulled it back for Jamie Ayres, whose shot was goalbound until Nat Connolly got his boot to it to deflect it wide.
Leverstock had a chance in the 20th minute when Iker Noguera Leon found himself through on keeper Jack Brooker, but didn’t make proper contact with his shot and Brooker gathered.
Two minutes later it was Joe McCarthy who was through on Brooker, and again the keeper blocked the shot, but the rebound came out to Leon, who drilled a shot from the edge of the box that went in off the post for his sixth goal of the season, putting Leverstock into a 1-0 lead.
Flackwell went close in the 25th minute when a longrange shot from Matty Ayres flew just over the bar, and again on 38 minutes when a shot from Lewis Patrick looped up from a deflection and landed on top of the bar. However, Leverstock took their narrow lead into the break.
Four minutes into the second half a cross from Juan Pablo Velasco found McCarthy coming in, but his header went over the bar, and Velasco went close himself with a chip just over the bar in the 53rd minute.
Flackwell made a double substitution in the 57th minute, and had another good chance three minutes later. A slick passing move put Matty Ayres through on goal, but Harry Way produced a great save to keep his shot out. However, in the 65th minute the scores were levelled. A free kick found its way to the far post where substitute Harlem Hale was in space to shoot past Way from close range.
Neither side had much of a clear cut chance for the remainder of the game, much of which was played in heavy rain, and Flackwell were reduced to ten men in the 83rd minute when Ayoub Igozouln was shown a straight red card for retaliation against Velasco.

THERE can’t be many clubs with a better record of producing players fit for the EFL – and higher – than FC Halifax Town.
The number that have passed through the Shay down the years is quite something.
Our Chris Dunlavy, chief writer on sister title The Football League Paper, caught up with a former Shaymen last week after he called time on his career.
One of the privileges of this job is watching young footballers thrive in NonLeague before getting their chance and then carving out a successful career in the higher levels.
Lee Gregory certainly did that, scoring 112 EFL goals for the likes of Millwall, Stoke, Sheffield Wednesday and Mansfield Town.
The striker began his journey at Staveley Miners Welfare and Sheffield FC and Glapwell before ripping it up at FC Halifax Town – alongside a certain Jamie Vardy.
But Gregory still remembers the conversation he had with Nicky Law during a brief spell on trial at Alfreton two decades ago.
“I was 17 or 18 and Nicky was the manager at Alfreton,” he recalls. “He said to me one day, ‘You don’t have to be a professional. You can have a
good career in Non-League. Get a job, do this on the side, put the extra money towards a house and you’ll pay it off in 15 or 20 years’.
“I remember thinking ‘You know, he’s right’. That was my mentality when I was playing for Staveley Miners Welfare and Sheffield FC and Glapwell.
“By the time I got to 23, when I joined Halifax, I was like ‘OK, this is my life - let’s buy that house and stop dreaming’.”
Thankfully for Gregory, now 37, an intervention from Kim Holloway - wife of Ian - changed the course of his life.
Gregory scored 29 National League goals for Halifax in the 2013-14 campaign. Holloway, then in charge of Millwall, was considering making an offer but feared the forward would struggle with the jump to the Championship.
“You could be the best player in the world but if you’ve not got the right opinion behind you, you're not going to go anywhere,” says Gregory.
“It only takes one person to believe in you and in my case it was Ian’s wife. She was the one who said ‘Go on, why don’t you take a chance on the lad from Non-League?’ That one opinion changed my life.
“I did have other clubs in the pipeline. I was always going to end up in the EFL that summer. But none of them were in the Championship. I know you make your own luck, but you need help along the way. I was very lucky that she said that to him, and that he listened to her.”
Gregory is just another example of how different players will take different routes into the Football League. We’re lucky we get to see a lot of them at before they really make it.

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.
