You're right, I meant Harefield United were punching above their weight in Division One last season, that goes without saying as they only dropped two points

They really were very good, I actually thought Broadfields were better, based on the two games I saw of each. I don’t think they were punching above though, they are every bit a prem club, have historically been so. They had that agonising season a while back missing out on promotion to southern on goal difference to Biggleswade. They will be more than ok this season. Perhaps they should list to local legend Dean Hoopers advice a little more.

Winslow Boy - I still don't know how you managed to win 1-0 at Preston Park in the Challenge Trophy last season, fair play and you also led at the break in the league game there didn't you but capitulated in the second half

[Winslow Boy]

Beat them in two cups, were the better side in league game at ours, were very unfortunate in that one, was one of the games I saw. I guess you wouldn’t know since you didn’t watch any of the games. They murdered us in first game of the season though. Very good side.

Savagebee - Like I said Harefield United were punching well below their weight last term and are now being found out in the Premier Division:

Harefield United will do ok this season and they might even surprise a few people. In Andrew Harewood, Tashan Jordan, Richard Pacquette and Leonard Farhall they have good goal scorers. Tring Athletic away was always going to be a tough game for The Hares or any team in the league to be honest.

I see that St Panteleimon were brought back down to earth with a bump yesterday by Brimsdown, I think the SSML honeymoon period could well be over for them:

They are still unbeaten and a point is a point after all.

All the scores on the doors folks, I wonder what controversy there was at Oxhey Jets in what sounded like a thriller:

PREMIER DIVISION

Oxhey Jets 3 Arlesey Town  3

I see Oxhey Jets striker Nicholas Kerley was among there goal scorers yesterday. A team from a higher level should give him a try if they can tempt him away from the bright lights of Oxhey ? he's a decent striker.

As you know I live in London near Crouch End so getting to Elmfields Gate for a game is difficult as I don't drive and there is no train station nearby as far as I know, I thought that you had a really great season last term finishing third albeit twenty points behind Broadfields United in second.

[Winslow Boy]

Strange then that you can be surprised at the result of any game if you haven’t actually watched it then isn’t it. It was a decent season, ultimately disappointing, a poor start and some inconsistency killed us. Still, the football has been excellent and lots of goals last few years. Hopefully we can go one better this year.

Rhodes is back!! Hooray!!!
