LEISTON UNDER 23’s are in action at the Flannery Stadium for the second time in seven days as they host Tattingstone United this weekend writes Craig Cooper.

A 2-1 defeat last week to Haughley United, which saw the away team score two goals in the last 15 minutes, meant that the Blues dropped to 9th in the table.

The Blues will hopefully have Liam Shaw and Jack McLeavy back in the squad, while Connor Crane may have recovered from injury.

Tattingstone United are 12th in the league, with 10 points from 10 league games, having won three, drawn one and lost six. The two teams have never met previously.

Tattingstone beat Waveney 1-0 away from home in the Suffolk Senior Cup earlier this season before losing 5-1 at home to Beccles Town in Round Two.

Tattingstone United were founded in 1965 and they won the Suffolk Primary Cup in 1971 and the Morrison Freight Cup in 2024.

They gained promotion to the SIL Premier Division (then Senior Division) in 2023 after finishing second behind Stowupland Falcons.

The side have achieved finishes of 6th, 8th and 6th in previous seasons in the division.
