Step 1.5 - Game Selection

Decisions decisions. It's bloody difficult narrowing down the list of leagues and figuring out which ones are within a 20mile radius of North London. we were all set to head to the Cherry Red Records Combined Counties League Division One when I discovered The Molten Spartan South Midlands Football League Division One (catchy!) and realised it was probably closest.


Now it might be my Norn Iron background but:

• What the f*** is the combined counties?
• When did Kentish Town, North London, end up in the Midlands?
• 9 words to describe the league and still not a clue where it is...

Somebody should get to sorting these league names out. What's Trevor Brooking at these days?

Anyway so MSSMFLDO here we come. The match selection was easier, 

Which date are we free: 19th Nov

Are League games being played: Yes

Which 3 Home teams are closest to us: Cockfosters,  Harpenden Town, Welwyn Garden City

Now call us childish but there was only ever one choice:

Cockfosters vs Hoddesdon Town 19th November K.O. 3PM. 

8th vs 16th in the big mid table tussle. Bring it on.
