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.

https://kitaid.net 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. Jane Bateman, Head of International Relations, The Football Association

Alan Lee Reporting Leverstock Green 3 FC Romania 2 At start of play FC Romania were in third place and Leverstock Green FC were in fifth place, but by the final whistle those positions had reversed as Leverstock hit the top three of the SSML Premier Division with another impressive result. It was a tight game of few chances, especially in the first half. The game’s first serious effort on goal came in the 22nd minute when Romania’s Tobi Coker hit a shot on target, but it was comfortably saved by Leverstock Green FC keeper Josh Bowler. A minute later at the other end the game sprung into life as Leverstock took the lead with a bolt from the blue. Luke Beckwith cut in from the left to the edge of the penalty area, then unleashed a ferocious right-footed shot that flew past the outstretched arm of visiting keeper Conor Beattie into the net. That looked like being the only action of note until first half stoppage time. A crossfield pass from Ryan Carruthers found Rio Beach outside the left corner of the penalty area with three defenders ahead of him, but somehow Beach’s mazy run took him past all three of them before slotting a shot past Beattie to send Leverstock Green FC into the break with a 2-0 lead. Coker continued to be the main danger man for the visitors in the second half. On 55 minutes he got his boot onto a cross from the right, but it was gathered by Bowler, and three minutes later Coker broke away, but his eventual shot was kept out by Bowler, who also did well to claim the ball to end a goalmouth scramble from the ensuing corner. In the 64th minute a rash challenge in the box from Radu-Mihai Stefanoaica resulted in the referee awarding the visitors a penalty, and Zenon Stylianidis converted the spot kick to put his side back in the game at 2-1. There were a couple of further near-misses from Coker as Romania piled on the pressure, but Leverstock Green FC held onto their lead and with two minutes remaining re-established their two-goal cushion. A foul on Stefanoaica gave Leverstock a free kick in a dangerous position. Dan Pett hit a superb effort which came back off the post, and George Mitchell-Gears was on hand to head home the rebound for a 3-1 lead. However, Leverstock Green FC supporters have come to expect tense finishes, and there was another one here. Two minutes into stoppage time a missed challenge on the edge of the box allowed Coker through to steer a shot past Bowler and reduce the arrears to 3-2. The referee played several more minutes of stoppage time, but again Leverstock were able to hold out for another big three points which keeps them in the Premier Division play-off spots. Leverstock Green FC (2) 3 (Beckwith 23, Beach 45+2, Mitchell-Gears 88) 1. Josh Bowler, 2. Ethan Mooney, 3. Rio Beach, 4. Paul Marks, 5. Callum Neal, 6. Ryan Carruthers (12.

Development & U18’s Team News Leverstock Green Development lost 2 – 1 in the Norman Appleby Cup 1st round against Bovingdon Reserves, Luc Dischamps was our goal scorer with an assist from Jamie McIntosh. Leverstock Green Development registered their first win since the appointment of Andy Murray as manager as they travelled to Baldock Town Reserves and came away with the three points. Two goals from Jamie McIntosh were enough for a 2-0 win. It was a bad day at the office for Leverstock Green Development, who were 3-1 down at half time and 6-1 down at full time to Oracle Components. Manager Andy Murray described it as “a spanking”.

The under-18s registered their third league win of the season on Thursday night, an impressive 3-0 result against Aylesbury Vale Dynamos at the Lords Builders Merchants Stadium. Shay Kelly scored the opening goal in first half stoppage time, while Jamie McIntosh (76) and Luc Dischamps (82) added further goals in the second half.
