LUFC u13 Girls Reds win Division 1 for 2nd season running. Congratulations to the girls in our u13 Reds team for winning back to back Beds FA Division 1 titles this season. After a 16 game winning streak, the girls have had a slight wobble in the last month, drawing once and losing for the first time this season. However normal service was resumed last Saturday when they beat Real Bedford Blues 5-2 to take the title with a game to spare. The team went on to win their last game this weekend, beating Wixhams Wanderers 4-3 at home. The girls have had another excellent year, making the final of the u14 County Cup which was a superb achievement in itself, as well as the semi final of the league cup. Coach Austin Jones commented after the last game of the season "We've had another fantastic season. All the girls should be proud of their efforts and hard work they have put in. To win Division 1 once is an achievement, but twice in a row is truly amazing. We just need one more for the hat trick now."

CHILDREN'S SAFETY: This is a reminder that parents/carers are responsible for controlling children at all times at the club’s premises when children are not engaged in organised football activities, e.g. matches or training sessions run by coaches.   There have been recent reports that children have been playing unattended in the car park while vehicles are on the move and playing on the pile of road planings/scrapings (incredibly with buckets and spades!) which is currently located in one corner of the car park. We ask you to please ensure that such activities do not happen and please supervise your children while they are onsite.   Please also observe the driveway speed limit and do not park in the Recreation Ground car park opposite.   PARKING COORDINATION: We acknowledge that there have been parking issues recently, particularly during Wednesday evening training. The timing of training sessions has since been amended so that teams training earlier have time to leave before later teams arrive. Please do not arrive earlier or depart later than your allocated times, as doing so risks causing bottlenecks .   The Club is run entirely by unpaid volunteers and there is no available resource to provide regular teams of car park marshals. We rely on the goodwill of people visiting the ground to drive and park sensibly and to look after their own children. Thank you for your cooperation.

Leighton United u13 Reds (Vixens) have battled through tough competition to reach this year's u14 County Cup Final. This team of girls has worked hard this season to improve their football and teamwork. They had to play up an age category because there wasn't an u14 cup this season. Their reward is a chance to lift the coveted County Cup for the u14 Age Girls age group. The coaches, parents and club are proud of their determination and development. Everyone at LUFC wishes them luck in the finals. If you are at a loose end on Saturday 23rd March, why not come down to Beds FA's Cranfield Paviliion facility to cheer on the girls.

Happy New Year to all of our teams, players and families. Unfortunately, as we start the second half of the 2023/24 grassroots football season, we are plagued by bad weather, causing matches to be cancelled due to unplayable pitches. We hope this terrible weather period does not continue for much longer so our teams can return to playing football. We wish all our teams luck and success in the second half of the season. In addition to regular football, we are planning several exciting club events this year and bringing back old favourites from previous years. We will announce events as soon as they are finalised. As always, if anyone has any questions or suggestions, please contact us at leightonunitedfc@gmail.com or use our online contact form.
