Leighton went joint top of the Spartan South Midland Premier League following Tuesday’s closely fought local derby with an ever improving Dunstable Town .

Leighton started strongly and went ahead after nine minutes
when Ashton Campbell’s defence splitting pass found in form striker Dave Parkinson whose powerful shot beat
visiting ‘keeper Gould to the delight of another 300 + crowd . Leighton dominated the play and ‘keeper Gould
made a great low down save to stop Parkinson doubling the lead . Despite having the majority of the play Leighton
were unable to increase their lead due to some excellent defending by the visitors .

Dunstable looked a different team in the second half and took the game to Leighton and whilst they had a lot of
the ball they really didn’t trouble home custodian Coulson . The same could be said for Leighton who took back
control as the game entered the last 20 mins but not many clear cut chances were created . As the game drew to a
close Dave Murphy popped up in the Dunstable 6 yard box and calmly smashed home Town’s second a few minutes
from the end following a corner .

This was a fair result and took Leighton to top of the table on goal difference with Harpenden Town , who they meet
at Bell Close this coming Saturday 3.00pm . Dunstable will not be in their current League position for much longer if
they continue to play as they did in the second half their ability and spirit which will take them up the table very soon .

Another big crowd is expected at the Club on Saturday , please arrive early to avoid delays at the gate .

Thanks for your wonderful support .
