New Salamis Football Club History
New Salamis FC were formed in 1971 by fans of Cypriot club Nea
Salamis Famagusta, with the Cypriot based club acting as a parent
club to their fans in the UK. Playing in the KOPA (Cypriot Football
League) a British League set-up for Cypriots in London, the club
won countless honours and left the league in season 2017/18 as
the leagues most successful team, winning 12 League Titles.
The club also won a record 7 London County Cups.

In the 2015/16 season the club won the FA Sunday Cup, following
a 1-1 draw with Barnes at Selhurst Park and winning on penalties.
In 2016/17 the club lost to Hardwick Social Club on penalties again
following a 1-1 draw, at Brammall Lane. Many of the players still
play for the team today.

In 2018/19 we moved into the Herts County Senior League, playing
our matches at Enfield Town FC. In our first season we won the
presitgous Aubrey Cup Final, and also acheived promotion to the
Spartan South Midlands League, after finishing runners up.

Season 2019/20 saw us participate in the Spartan South Midlands
League Division One at Step 6, our ambition to achieve promotion
to Step 5.

In March 2020 when the Covid-19 pandemic hit, we sat top of the
certain of a top four finish and promotion. We also were the top
scorers in all top 10 Divisions as the season was null and voided.

Last season saw the team reach the first round of the FA Cup, in our
first season, and when the season was curtailed in November , we had
managed to amas enough points to be promoted to the Premier Division
on points per game over two season, this season sees a new chapter.

The History of Leighton Town Football Club

Leighton Town, who were known as Leighton United between 1922 and 1963, were formed
in 1885. They were mainly involved in local leagues until the outbreak of the Great War and
were winners of the Leighton and District League on several occasions.

Leighton were one of the original members of the South Midland League in 1922 – which at
the time was known as the Bedfordshire County League. They were also members of the
Spartan League between 1922/23 and 1951/52, but their only successes being the Spartan
League Division 2 title in 1923/24 and 1927/28. They were Bedfordshire Senior Cup winners
in 1926/27.

In 1952, they became a founder member of the Hellenic League, but after two disappointing
seasons, moved to the South Midlands League. . In 1965/66 season however, the Premier
Championship sat in the Leighton Town Boardroom. The club then rejoined the Spartan
League in 1967/68.

Leighton proceeded to consolidate their League success by winning the Bedfordshire Senior
Cup for three successive seasons in 1968, 1969 and 1970. Unfortunately, some of the
successful players moved onto other clubs, and Leighton’s fortunes again declined. A move
to the United Counties League proved disastrous and, after just two seasons, the club
rejoined the South Midlands League. During the ‘70’s and ‘80’s, Leighton were unable to
capture the success of the ‘60’s.

In 1990/1991 the First Team won the South Midlands League Challenge Trophy and the
O’Brien’s Premier Division Cup, both for the first time in the club’s history.

The 1991/2 season was one of the club’s best. The South Midlands Premier Division title,
which had eluded the club for so long, was won, and with it a place in the Isthmian League.

1992/3 saw the Club’s success continue when they won the Bedfordshire Senior Cup for the
first time since 1970. The Club missed out on promotion in their first Isthmian League season
by just a single point but the Youth Team retained the County Cup.

1995/6 saw the First Team win promotion to Division 2 of the Isthmian League, whilst at the
same time retaining the Buckingham Charity Cup.
In the 1996/7 season, Leighton won the Isthmian League Associated Members Trophy for
the first time. 1998/99 saw the return of the Associated Members Trophy and the
Buckingham Charity Cup.

Season 2003/04 Tthe First Team won the Ryman Isthmian Second Division title. The team
was also named Ryman Division Two Team of the Year, and Paul Burgess was awarded
Manager of the Year. They also reached the Fifth round of the FA Vase, and the final of the
Beds Senior Cup, before losing to Andover and Arlesey respectively.

The 2004-05 season saw the club placed in The Southern League East Division and finished
in a creditable tenth place. They also won the Buckinghamshire Charity Cup. The Reserves
won the Bedfordshire Intermediate Cup and the U18’s won the SCYFL League Shield.

The 05-06 Season saw the Club progress again, improving on the year before, as they
finished 8th in The Southern League West Division. After a poor start, League results

improved and the side only suffered four defeats from the start of November until the end of
March, a play-off place just eluding them.
After three excellent victories interest in the FA.Trophy competition ended with a single goal
defeat to eventual semi-finalists, Borehamwood.
The Club also reached the Beds Senior Cup Final, but sadly they again finished as Runners
Up.

The Club were relocated to the Southern League, Midland Division for 06-07 season but
only one League win in the first six games and early exits in the two FA Competitions cost
Paul Burgess his job in September. He was replaced by former Wycombe, professional Keith
Scott, results did improve but it was a disappointing season, although Town did win the
Bucks Senior Charity Cup.

The 07-08 started brightly with the first League defeat not coming until mid-October. Three
wins in the FA Cup saw the Club reach the 4th Qualifying Round for the first time in it’s history.
A 3-0 defeat to Conference South, Havant and Waterlooville finally ended the run. Keith
Scott left in December to join Windsor and Eton. In January 2008, Assistant Manager Sean
Downey was appointed as First Team Manager and did a splendid job as the Club ended
their League season in 9th place, winning the Bucks Charity Cup and reaching the final of
the Beds Senior Cup once more.

The 08/09 Season the First Team finished 8th in the Southern League, Midland Division,
achieving their highest points total to date at that level.
The 09/10 season saw Leighton once again finish in the top half of the table, when they
finished in 9th place and they also lost the Bedfordshire Senior Cup Final to Southern League
rivals, Arlesey Town after penalties.
Season 2010/2011, saw Town finish in 7th place in the League, gaining 69 points, their best
performance since joining the Southern Football League.

The 2011/2012 a poor season saw Leighton finish in their lowest position for several years.
2012/13 was also very disappointing for the First Team as they finished in 20th place.
2015/2016. After 3 disappointing seasons Leighton finished the season in the bottom two
of the Southern League Central Division and were relegated to the Spartan South
Midlands League where they had last played in the 1991/92 season.
2016/2017 This was a disappointing season with the club struggling for much of the time
after yet another Managerial Change. Things did pick up towards the end of the season
and we eventually finished in 16th place.
 2017/18 The club retained Scott Reynolds as Manager and finished 4th in the League
and reached the Quarter Finals of the FA VASE. Gates improved and it was our best
season for about 8 years,
2018/2019 Danny Nicholls was appointed as manager but left in October due to work
commitments . The Club then appointed Joe Sweeney and Paul Copson, who had
previously won the League with London Colney as their new Management Team. They
steadied the ship but we finished in mid table. . ish
2019/2020 Was a good season for the Club as we reached the quarter final of the FA
Vase and after a slow start in the League the team started to find some good form as we
slowly climbed up the table. The team were also awarded the Team of the Month twice.
 2020/2021 Town for the third time in 4 seasons reached the quarter final of the FA Vase
but sadly lost out to 2 late penalties. An indifferent start in the League meant we could not
quite gain the points needed to gain promotion .
2021/2022 Once again Leighton are hoping to be challenging at the top of the table but
we are well aware that this is a difficult task and several other teams will be competing to
finish in the top 2 places .
