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.

Baldock Town 1 Leverstock Green 2

Leverstock Green had already clinched their place in the playoffs following Tuesday night’s results elsewhere, and they kept the pressure on Harpenden Town in the race for 3rd place and a home playoff semi-final with a 2-1 win at Baldock Town on Thursday night. It was hard work on a very wet night, but two first half goals proved enough for Fergus Moore’s side to take the points.

Leverstock made a slow start to the game, and the home side looked the brighter of the two sides in the early stages, winning a couple of corners. It was a contribution from Rio Beach in the 25th minute that sparked the Green side into left. Beach made a powerful run from his own half, pulling off a pirouette along the way, before being brought down just outside the box for a free kick in a dangerous position. Guiseppe Delgaudio took the kick, and his low shot took a deflection and beat keeper Kian McAdam into the corner of the net.

Luke Beckwith brought a good save out of McAdam in the 32nd minute, hitting a rasping shot which the keeper turned round the post. The second goal arrived in the 40th minute. A pass from Beckwith found Nat Connolly in space some distance from goal, and Connolly cut inside before hitting a shot which flew into the net via a deflection for his first ever goal for the club.

Leverstock made another slow start to the second half, with a cross from Callum Neal which was headed wide by Rawn Seale in the 63rd minute being their only threat of the early stages. Baldock kept on battling and pulled a goal back in the 70th minute from a short corner routine. The player who received the ball was not shut down quick enough, and his ball into the box was turned home by Max Ryan.

Leverstock had chances to extend their lead. In the 76th minute a free kick from Ryan Carruthers was parried away by McAdam. Curtis Dibley looked certain to score from the rebound but could only pull the ball across goal where Rawn Seale also failed to hit the target. In the 83rd minute Seale chased a through ball and got there ahead of McAdam, directing a shot towards the empty net, but it hit the post and went wide.

In the end the single-goal lead was enough to win the game, but not enough to overtake Harpenden in third place. Leverstock trail by two goals but have two games left to Harpenden’s one. Next up is a home game against Shefford Town & Campton on Saturday.

In 2017, Dawn was diagnosed with breast cancer and successfully underwent chemotherapy. Sadly, following a reoccurrence, she passed away on 28th August 2019.

We have two options, medically and emotionally: give up or fight like hell. Unfortunately, at the young age of 44, Dawn lost her battle but by only working together can we win the war.

£1000 will kit out a PhD student with everything they need to beat cancer sooner, helping to train the researchers of tomorrow.

Stansted 0 Leverstock Green 1

Leverstock Green played their fourth game in eight days, and despite the tired legs and a hard, bobbly pitch that was very difficult to play football on, they managed to deliver another crucial three points to bolster their playoff bid. A goal in the first half from Guiseppe Delgaudio was enough to win a scrappy game on a warm afternoon.

Leverstock made a strong start to the game and had a good chance to take the lead in the 2nd minute. A pass from Delgaudio beat a defender and put Callum Neal through on goal, but his shot from a narrow angle was beaten away by home keeper Charlie Turner. Two minutes later a looping header from Rawn Seale bounced off the top of the crossbar.

In the 23rd minute a long throw from Seale found its way to Dan Pett at the far post, but Pett hit his shot wide. Leverstock thought they had taken the lead in the 28th minute when a cross from Nat Connolly was met with a thumping header home from Delgaudio, but it was ruled out for a very debatable offside decision by the assistant referee. However, three minutes later a pass from Seale put Delgaudio through on goal to hit a shot past Turner and finally put Leverstock into an overdue lead.

Leverstock led 1-0 at the end of a half in which they had had the only efforts at goal, and the second half saw even fewer chances. Delgaudio was replaced by Luke Beckwith at half time, but despite a lot of possession and a lot of effort the Leverstock side was unable to create anything until the final minutes of the game, often being undone more by the bobbly pitch than their opponents. Other than one moment where Josh Bowler had to make a save late in the game, the Leverstock goal was never under serious threat.

Three minutes from time Stansted were reduced to ten men when John Clarke went sent off for a second yellow card. The game should have been sealed in the 90th minute when a cross from Beckwith found George Mitchell-Gears with what looked like a sitter at the far post, but the ball bounced up awkwardly off the pitch and he could not get a clean touch on the ball, allowing Turner to save.

Leverstock held on for a win which moves them back up to fourth place, behind Harpenden Town by a single goal. Two more points or any slip-up by Cockfosters in their last five games will ensure a playoff berth. The Green squad now get a welcome few days ‘ break before Thursday’s trip to face Baldock Town.

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.

SHEFFORD & CAMPTON FC History

Shefford Town & Campton Football Club (The Bluemen) are based in the town of Shefford, Bedfordshire. The team plays its home matches at Shefford Sports Club on Hitchin Road in Shefford and at Campton Playing Fields, Rectory Road in Campton. The club is competing at the 10th tier of the English football league system in the Spartan South Midlands Football League Division One. The club also has a reserve side competing in Premier Division of the Bedfordshire County Football League and u23 and development teams appearing in the same league structure

Originally formed in 1910 as Shefford Town, their first successful period came in the 1950s: starting in 1949–50, the team won two South Midlands League championships and three Beds Senior Cups within five seasons. Subsequently, the club finished as runners -up in the Parthenon League, and won the United Counties League title in 1960–61. Shefford would not match these achievements until the early 1980s, when the club was promoted from the South Midlands League's second tier in 1982–83 and won the league title a year later.

After relegation in 1990, Shefford Town folded in 1994. The town remained without a senior football team until 2009, when the club was reformed. In 2010 Shefford Town merged with near neighbours Campton.

The club has had success both on and off the pitch in recent years since its reformation, the club were crowned Bedfordshire County Premier Division Winners in 2011 –12, 2017–18 and 2018–19. The Bedfordshire County League Britannia Cup was won in both 2011 & 2014, 2019 and the East Beds Charity Cup was won by the Reserve team in 2015. The Club has also finished runners up in the Biggleswade knock-out cup in 2015, 2016 & 2017.

At the end of 2018–19 season Shefford announced its intentions to seek promotion into the Spartan South Midlands Football League, they duly wrapped up the Bedfordshire County League title and passed the relevant ground grading, so the club stepped back into the league it folded out of back in 1994 Under the Stewardship of Kane Dougherty and James Taylor the club topped division 1 during the curtailed season of 20/21 and finally guided us to promotion via the playoffs during the 21/22 season.

Leverstock Green 1 Potton United 0

Leverstock Green’s great season continued as they booked a place in the final of the Gladwish Challenge Trophy. A single goal in the first half was enough to win Thursday night’s semi-final against Potton United at the Lords Builders Merchants Stadium. Several of the players who had played at MK Irish on Tuesday night were rested, with Gary Connolly making another appearance at the back alongside George Alfieri, dual-registered with Hadley. Guiseppe Delgaudio returned after completing a three -match suspension.

It was a game of few chances, and the winning goal was scored in the 18th minute. Luke Beckwith played a through ball which was chased by two players. Delgaudio was offside, but left it for Curtis Dibley, who was onside. The flag stayed down as Dibley headed for goal, eventually squaring for Beckwith to finish what he started with a shot from close range.

Leverstock had a big shout for a penalty in the 30th minute as a cross from George Mitchell-Gears clearly struck the arm of a defender, but nothing was given.

The closest that Leverstock came to a second goal was in the 51st minute, as Delgaudio got on the end of a cross with a spectacular overhead effort. Keeper James Hoskins made a good save to turn it away, and Mitchell-Gears was unable to get his effort from the rebound on target.

Towards the end of the game the visitors put a lot of pressure on the Leverstock goal, winning a succession of corners, but Josh Bowler and his defence held firm. Bowler only had to make one save of note, turning a low header round the post in the 87th minute. Potton substitute John Sonuga got on the end of the resulting corner but headed over the bar just seconds after coming off the bench.

Leverstock held out to reach the final, where they will face London Lions or Ampthill Town, with the date and venue yet unknown.

Milton Keynes Irish 1 Leverstock Green 1

Leverstock Green drew for the fourth time in the last five matches against second-placed Milton Keynes Irish on Tuesday night. It was scheduled to be Leverstock’s home match, but due to the Pancake Lane pitch being unplayable at lunchtime, the game was switched to MK’s Manor Fields ground. It was another excellent performance by the Green side, who were only denied the win by some heroics from MK goalkeeper Tom Ladyman.

Leverstock had a good chance to take the lead in the 6th minute, as Rio Beach went on a mazy run before threading a pass to put Rawn Seale through on goal. However, Ladyman produced the first of his great saves to deflect Seale’s shot round the post. MK had the ball in the net in the 22nd minute but the offside flag had already been raised before the goal was scored. Leverstock went close again in the 28th minute as Paul Marks got on the end of a Dan Pett corner but couldn’t keep his header under the bar.

The scoring was opened in the 30th minute, with an element of controversy. Pett won the ball off an MK defender with a challenge that many of their contingent felt was a foul. The referee played on, and Pett played a pass through to Seale, who was denied by Ladyman. However, Radu-Mihai Stefanoaica followed up to curl the ball into the empty net to put Leverstock 1-0 up.

It should have been 2-0 in the 37th minute as Seale was in with another great shooting chance, but his low shot was somehow deflected over the bar by another great save from Ladyman. Instead, the scores were levelled in the 41st minute. MK were awarded a free kick in a dangerous position just outside the box, and Mason Spence’s shot left Josh Bowler standing as it flew into the net.

Luke Beckwith replaced the injured Stefanoaica at half time, and Beckwith also found himself frustrated by Ladyman. Clean through on goal in the 55th minute, Beckwith’s shot was kept out by the keeper’s boot. Two minutes later at the other end Ryan Smith had a good chance but shot wide.

It was Leverstock’s turn to have a free kick just outside the box in the 64th minute, and Pett produced a great effort, but again it was Ladyman who dived to his left to turn it round the post. In the 72nd minute the action was at the other end as Bowler produced a superb save to turn away a shot from Ty Ward.

The game finished with the scores still level at 1-1, and Leverstock have now dropped to 5th in the table below a resurgent Harpenden Town, and probably still require a couple of wins from their remaining four games to seal a play-off spot.

Leverstock Green (1) 1 (Stefanoaica 30)
