Mad last 10

Monday 18 April 2022, Broadfields United 3 Leighton Town 4 - SSM Premier, Tithe Farm Sports and Social Club

Home side started well and almost went in front from a free kick that was well saved, then after 17 minutes the visitors went ahead and then for the rest of the half it was one way traffic. Leighton added a further two goals before the break.

Second half was quite scrappy then Leighton got a 4th goal in the 78th minute and you would have thought that would be it but suddenly the home side put a few passes together and got 3 goals back- however Leighton steadied the ship and saw injury time out without letting the home side get back on terms. 

Suffolk side, lucky to get through

Saturday 3 October 2020, Leighton Town 1 Leiston 2 - Bell Close, FA Cup 2nd Qualifying Round.

Big shock was that we had no rain, a bit on the trip across from Ipswich but then stayed dry for the whole game. Liked the ground, enclosed feel, town centre near by.

Leiston, 2 divisions higher, started the quicker and were soon two up, with the first from the penalty spot. Leighton did pull one back in the 28th Minute.

Second half was very scrappy, Leiston did hit the post when their full back, Hammond joined the attack but other than that shot, the Suffolk side were very poor in the second half and were fortunate to keep their lead and progress to the next round
