Town opened the scoring in front of the 329 fans in attendance with a Kyle Connolly goal 20 minutes in. In a relatively non-descript half, Hoddesdon didn’t have much to offer – aside from hitting one of the floodlights with an attempted clearance.
After the break, it took just six minutes for Leon Lobjoit to add to the lead. He converted well on 51’. Following this on 65’, James Towell – a man who been marking his 200th appearance in a Leighton shirt – made way for Kwai Marsh-Brown.
Just two minutes later, the substitute nearly got on the score sheet. The fleet footed winger danced past three defenders before agonisingly hitting the bar.
With ten minutes left to play, Town kept pushing and won a penalty. Despite the goalkeeper’s best efforts to distract, the prolific forward thundered into the bottom right corner to make it 3-0. This goal was Leighton’s 100th this season.
After this routine win, Lee Bircham’s team now get ready to welcome Arlesey Town to Bell Close on Tuesday night.

LTFC XI: Comas; Beck, Connolly, Connolly (C), Jackson, Pyman, Robins, Spaul, Toomey, Lobjoit, McClelland.
