Luton Town strolled to a 3-0 victory against arch rivals Watford on Saturday at an electric Kenilworth Road, with goals from Jordan Clark, Carlton Morris and Jacob Brown easing the pressure on Rob Edwards. It was by far and away the best performance the Hatters have produced this season, and what a time to do it. From the first minute, the Town were aggressive, physical and direct, as Tom Cleverly’s side shrank into the Kenilworth Road turf. The crowd and players fed off each other in the sort of manner we’ve seen so rarely in the past six months, with the Kenny at it’s hostile best to give the side from down the M1 a proper welcome.




















Luton were ahead after just 11 m...

Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola revealed that the quick Marcus Tavernier free kick, which led to Evanilson’s first goal for the Cherries, was the result of meticulous analysis from his backroom staff.

The Brazilian scored the opener in Monday night’s 3-1 victory over Southampton, after Tavernier seemed to take advantage of an opportune moment to clip the ball over the top, with the Saints’ defence slow to react after the award of a free kick.

However, Iraola revealed that the...

AFC Bournemouth cruised to a comfortable 3-1 victory over their south coast compatriots Southampton, in a dominant display under the lights at the Vitality Stadium.

Evanilson opened the scoring in the 17th minute for the Cherries, latching onto a clever Marcus Tavernier free kick, before Dango Ouattara deflected Lewis Cook’s shot past Aaron Ramsdale to double the lead.

Before the international break, Andoni Iraola’s men produced a stunning comeback against Everton, scoring three goals in the final ten minutes to claim a dramatic 3-2 victory at Goodison Park.

However, Bournemouth will be without Dango Ouattara for the contest, as the winger sustained an ankle injury on international d...

Bournemouth were controversially denied a late winner by VAR, as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Newcastle at the Vitality Stadium.

Dango Outtara had looked to have given the Cherries a dramatic late winner as he headed home a corner in injury time, but the goal was ruled out as the VAR referee judged the ball went in off the forward’s arm.

Marcus Tavernier had put the home side ahead in the first half, tapping in from close range after superb work from Antoine Semenyo in the b...

Sam Oakhill, Madison Ford, Wes Jordan, Elena Fraser and Charlotte Marsh were all selected for Cambridgeshire, while Joshua Ford was part of the GB students’ team.

Each of the six players had to attend trials to be selected for their respective teams and were pitted against some of the country’s top Korfball talent.

The competition included counties from all across England, as well as a Scottish, Welsh, and GB University team.

The one-day event began with a group stage phase before pr...

“My life as I knew it was over”

The year is 2001, a summer’s evening in the middle of July. For Billy Schwer however, it was the beginning of a rapid slide into the doldrums of depression.

Schwer lies in the back of an ambulance, speeding towards the Royal Free Hospital in London, fearing for his life. The Luton-born boxer has just been knocked out in the 11th round of his IBO World Super Lightweight clash with Pablo Daniel Sarmiento, losing his world title in the process, but right now th...

As the 2023/24 Premier League season comes to a close, both Bournemouth and Brentford fans will be relieved they are not involved in the relegation battle when the two sides face each other at the Vitality Stadium on Saturday.

Bournemouth have already beaten their record Premier League points total, smashing the previous record of 48 against Brighton two weeks ago, and will hope to break the 50 point mark this weekend.

For Brentford, a season which saw them flirt with the relegation spots has...

Manchester United kept their fading Champions League dream alive by the barest of margins after a Bruno Fernandes penalty rescued a draw away at Bournemouth.

The Cherries started quickly, and their pressure told in the 16th minute when top goalscorer Dominic Solanke fired home from the edge of the box to score his 17th Premier League goal of the season.

The Red Devils hit back through Fernandes’ close-range finish before Justin Kluivert restored Bournemouth's lead, taking advantage of some mor...

As Fankaty Dabo sent the ball sailing over the bar and into a sea of orange pandemonium, for me and many other Hatters the overriding feeling was disbelief.


In fact, over 2 weeks on from our day under the arch and it still hasn’t really sunk in that Luton Town are in the Premier League. It’s almost as if no one dare believe it has actually happened, like the fairytale of the last decade has just been one long dream.


But to appreciate the highs, you must first experience the lows. The 2012/...
