Went to Dunstable today to see Leighton emerge victorious 3-0. An entertaining game and a competitive local derby played in the right spirit.

Leighton looked to have slightly more quality especially going forward. The goalkeepers made a big difference today. The Dunstable gk made a howler which gifted the opening goal to Leighton , whilst at 1-0 Brad Kirkwood in the Leighton goal pulled off a super penalty save.

Another point of note was an announcement at the ground that insulting /abusive language has been heard and spectators might be ejected. It wasn’t made clear what the nature of these comments were but got the impression it was ‘just’ bad language. It will be quite difficult to cut this out of football games and from my position the worst language I heard was used by the Dunstable players!

Yes, I was reading the match report from the Leighton Town website, it says that you took ´a massive following´ to Creasey Park, how many was that exactly:

It was a decent away following, think the total attendance was 230ish and I’d say at least half of those were away fans. Not sure if that counts as massive!

It’s a good set up down at Creasey Park and I know they are off the back of 2 successive relegations. I’d assume that’s related to some funding issues?

A MASSIVE win for North Greenford United. Wembley FC legend Ian Basher Bates will not be happy and he might drag his players in for some extra training after that result.

Yes, a huge win for them however it sounds like a Wembley sending off on the hour mark was a factor:

Unacceptable, shocking, lacklustre and shambolic were some of the words to describe Old Bradwell United's performance on Saturday:

PREMIER DIVISION

Broadfields United 1 Harefield United 1

A match report from the stalemate at Preston Park:

https://www.harefieldunited.com/teams/68463/news/match-report-broadfields-united-1-1-harefield-unit-2498399.html

A real anorak from another Forum was at Preston Park last Saturday:

Spartan South Midland Premier
Broadfields United 1-1 Harefield United
Entry: £6 including programme
Attendance: headcount of nearly 100
Tenants versus landlords, with all the combative pace you’d expect in such a contest. Not a terribly tidy or attractive football match, but there was certainly a refreshing full-throttle kick-and-rush honesty about it, and Broadfields in particular got better as the second half progressed. Referee had his work cut out at times, but personally I thought he had a strong afternoon.
For the paper-chasers, it’s worth knowing that landlords Harefield no longer publish a paper programme, but lodgers Broadfield do, and a very good one it is too. The ground has a functionality about it, but it appears to be of the home-built style (ie. no Atcost furniture to be seen) with a comfy and modern clubhouse. Car park seemed to be organised on a first-come-first-served free-for-all system though.
This is a tick that I’ve been meaning to get done for some time now, and had originally intended to get here for midweek. However, public transport needs planning, with the small town of Harefield being tucked up in a quiet rural patch just inside the north-western curve of the M25. Closest Underground stations are at Rickmansworth and at Uxbridge on the Metropolitan Line, with a closer overground station at Denham on the Chiltern line to High Wycombe. Bus services include the U9 from Uxbridge station to Harefield Hospital, and the no.331 from Uxbridge to Ruislip via Denham railway station. Both run every twenty minutes.

DIVISION ONE

Shefford Town & Campton 4 Rayners Lane 2

An anorak on another Forum didn't appear to enjoy his visit to Shefford Town & Campton last Saturday:

Spartan South Mids Division One
Shefford Town & Campton v Rayners Lane (4-2)
£5 entry - free programme
I pray to the good Lord that I never have to visit this soulless place again

That's a shame as it was pretty vibrant when I was there. Doubt anyone would ever 'have to visit' but those that do will find a club who appear (or at least appeared) to be progressing in the right way.
