The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

Who?

In all seriousness, any sort of info on these teams? What level they play at etc?

Buckingham Athletic play in Division 1 of the Spartan South Midlands League - so the same level (6) as AFC will play at. They also have Winslow United in that league - who were also hosting matches for Buckingham Town last season - who play in the UCL.

Lutterworth Athletic are in the Everards Leicestershire Senior League Premier - which is at Step 7. I guess the options were limited for a game on this date, as some other leagues have started, and many steps 5 and 6 clubs are in FA Cup Extra-Preliminary Round action.

They look to be ambitious to move up the pyramid - and announced a move into a new ground to help this.

Sorry to contradict but they're actually also in Step 6 - the EMCL same as Holwell Sports. They were promoted at the end of last season.

Thanks for the update. It's proving a real challenge to find out information from other club websites at our new level.

So, a different regional league to the other Buckingham team in our league, that's strange, they miss out on a very local derby there :?

As I'm a complete technophobe, could someone send me a link so I can print it off and get put up in my local? Many cheers

Sorted now
