Lakenheath Old Boys

We are all former students at Lakenheath High School and other public schools in East Anglia. We were in school in the 70s and 80s and drank deeply from the well of British culture of those decades - the pints, the telly, and of course the footie!

Another Must-Win Championship Match-up

 

Morning, lads! I'm up with the chickens to watch my beloved Leeds United as they take on Preston North End in a Championship grudge match. We'll be hoping to exact a bit of revenge for the bad loss that spoiled our festive spirits back on Boxing Day. Only three points will do as we attempt to close the gap on the high-flying trio on Leicester, Ipswich and Southampton. Come on, you Whites! #MOT!

Bugger! I'm barely settled into my chair for this one as Will Keane stabs home a Liam Miller cross to put the visitors 0-1 up. A nightmare start!

Oh - Liam Miller gets into a great position at the back post and pulls a great stop out of Meslier. Archie Gray seems all at sea against the Canadian.

A big scramble at in the area from the corner but LB finally clears it. He's useful in the role.

DJ wins a free kick in a great position for us. We're starting to turn the screw a bit.

Oh - great move down the right with James crossing toward Bamford. Good header but the keeper was behind it.
