sorry for repeating myself. My computer seems to move quicker than my fingers can.

Forget all that rubbish about a certain Premiership clubs training ground. London Colney's real claim to fame is the largest M & S in Britain. So take the missus out for day.

As it turned out there was no chance of us drawing K*ttering, they've been put in a more northern section with home games against Gresley followed by Loughborough Dynamo/Eastwood.

Oxhey Jets striker Lewis Putman scored 81 goals last season. Have a word Starms. :shock:

Edit: Just noticed Wealdstone have signed him.

I would say how is that even possible, but with there usually being one or two whipping boys in these step 5 leagues I imagine many of those would have been against the crap teams. Still ridiculously impressive though!

Only time I've ever known better was 86 by one player in a season, but that was in the Weetabix league!

He scored 14 in a single cup game, and Sky Sports News subsequently did a feature on him...

I see that Yaxley play Peterborough Northern Star in both the FA Cup Extra Preliminary Round and the FA Vase 1st Qualifying Round. I wonder what the odds were for that to happen. In fact, it is the only all UCL Premier tie in the FA Cup EPR. Desborough Town and Spalding United both drew Division One sides Oadby Town and Eynesbury Rovers respectively.

I also notice Sileby Rangers are the only UCL Premier side not in the FA Cup. I presume this is because they did not enter the FA Vase last season.
