The Blues can finally look forward to another home fixture tomorrow afternoon when Rushall Olympic visit in league action. The last three matches have brought three defeats, with 13 goals conceded in the process. Leiston are now 6th, five points behind Rushall who sit in 5th place.

Leiston have played Rushall five times before in their history, drawing just the once and losing four times. In 2018/2019 season, Leiston went down 1-0 at home and 2-0 away while a season later, the Blues lost 6-0 in the Midlands and drew 2-2 at home just before the first Lockdown as they came from two goals behind. Last campaign, they went down 1-0 to a late goal at home on the openly day of the season.
