They seem to be doing quite well on their own without the help of Cecil's usual flowery prose!

So who's going to watch a game today?

 

I shall be going to Rayleigh Town vs. Leytonstone United ko @ 2.30?

 

Will Leytonstone turn up? Will Rayleigh win by 11 clear goals to get promotion and pip Hutton at the post.

 

In the mid 60s Armada (then to become Basildon United) were odds on for promotion to the Thames-side Premier but another team, can't remember their name, had to win by 13 clear goals and the barsts won 14-0!!

So it's Cranes United after the crane on one side of the Ugandan coat of arms, sounds nicer than Antelopes United. Surely Rhodes would have been beating a path to Matabeleland!

My football season is finally over. Did enjoy the HW v Mountnessing game the other evening, especially with a crowd approaching 200, which would have put most ESL sides to shame. Good standard too as both clubs would more than hold their own in said league.

The new club house at Harold Par is quality, one of the best I have seen in years. Just a shame that it is limited to park football and cricket and henceforth Harold Wood are destined to remain at Step 7 for the foreseeable future..

Thinking of the Bengal United, LAPSA and other similar club situations are Crane United obliged to open playing membership to nationalities other than persons of Ugandan origin or descent?

I see that Southminster beat Sungate 3-1 in Senior Division 2 but Sungate still clinched the league title by a single point from the winners of this game.
