Tuesday Night

With the Easter holidays over I’m back in Harlow to attend the last six weeks of term before a couple of exams and then I’ll be all alone in the big wide world trying to find my first steps either into a journalism career or an animal one.

It’s typical that over the Easter break there were no mid-week fixtures anywhere but as soon as uni starts again there is a fixture the very next day. So on Tuesday 5^th April, which is tomorrow, I’ll be driving the 42 miles home to watch Leighton Town vs Uxbridge.

This fixture was originally down to be played on Saturday 5^th March at Barton Rovers ground after the boiler broke and no hot water was available at Bell Close. However after a freak snowstorm the match referee called the game off 45 minutes before kick off meaning Uxbridge’s 110-mile journey was completely pointless.

Looking ahead to tomorrow’s game both teams lost their games on Saturday, Uxbridge losing away to Kings Langley 3-1 while Leighton only lost 1-0 to Diamonds in front of their biggest crowd of the season. If Leighton win tomorrow and the team just above them in the league, Aylesbury United lose, they’ll find themselves once again just above the relegation zone, which they’ve been battling with since the start of the season.

Earlier on in the season Leighton travelled to Uxbridge and lost 3-0, hopefully they’ll be able to get their own back and win tomorrow night. Anyone who is interested in attending the game kick off is at 7:45pm and the address is as follows:
