Blast from the EFC past

Trust you to poke your nose in............and it is a nose........ha ha

[JordanB]

just out of interest, i know that town are not in the middlesex millenium cup but being in middlesex were you invited to play in it and turned it down?

[Bill Poster]

Thought it was only played for every thousand years.

 

Who are the current holders of the year 2000 title?

 

 

Previous holders, I believe, have been the Normandie Nackerers captained by William who beat the Saxon Southerners captained by Harold in the year 1000 final(1066 actually) and before I believe that it was the Macedonian Marauders captained by Alexander who beat the Persian Predators captained by Darius in the year 0 (or thereabouts) final.

 

Before that you're on your own. My memory plays tricks with me.

[JordanB]

ha ha. not quite though, it is to celebrate 1300 years of middlesex. there are 4 groups of 4 winners of each go onto semi's.

 

teams entered include: yeading, stains town, wealdstone, hemel hempstead, beaconsfield, brook house, wingate and finchley a few others and our selves.

[Bill Poster]

Thought Hemel was in Herts and Beaconsfield in Bucks.

 

Still ETFC played in the ESL.

 

I blame those bu**ers in Brussels. They don't know their Arun from their Arbroath!

I think it ridiculous to invite teams from Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire to play in a Middlesex Cup.

 

The Essex Senior League regularly goes beyond its borders, but the various Middlesex cups stick to the traditional boundaries.

[The Invisible Man]

Traditional? If you mean "original" that would include all of Gretaer London north of the Thames. The boundaries have changed constantly ever since they invented Middlesex.

 

Cue the 78th debate on the existence of Middlesex........

All clubs within the HISTORIC boundaries of Middlesex were eligible to participate in the Middlesex Millennium Cup. Potters Bar is within these historic boundaries which also stretch out to the Chilterns, hence Beaconsfield's participation.

The Middlesex cups do not stick to what you think are traditional boundaries but stick to those clubs that affiliate as either primary or secondary members of the Middlesex FA, something which every club within the historic boundary is entitled to do. Clapton, for example, are regular entrants in Middlesex County Cup competitions as well as ourselves.

Blimey! Can the Boro join in? I used to live in Middlesex. Heston near Hounslow to be precise.

 

And no comments from you about Staines Lammas Boroman!!
