Savagebee - I see there was a lot of debate on the Forum about Cotlandswick during the 2016/17 campaign (see below) when London Colney finally won the SSML Premier Division by five points from Hertford Town after finishing second in 2014/15 and 2015/16, they also won the Challenge Trophy after beating Thame Rangers 3-0 in the Final at Second Meadow. Hertford Town must have been laughing when the Club declined the opportunity of promotion, largely due to the fact that they would have gone into the Ryman League Division One North when their preferred option was, for some reason, the Southern League Division One Central, the Club appealed the decision but it was not upheld by the FA so they decided to remain in the SSML:
