MONTHLY ROUND-UP: JUNE 1865

With one week remaining until the season reaches its halfway point, The Regent's Park have produced an incredible turnaround and now share first place in the Metropolitan League, after a second successive month without defeat. The Regents won all four games in June, including narrow wins over Clapham and the Old Westminsters and an overwhelming 10-1 victory against Kensington. They share first place with the Westminsters, who ended the month by edging out Clapham 1-0 to drop the early season leaders one game behind in the standings.

Clapham have now lost their last two games, as have Angel Islington who sit on an even seven wins and seven defeats. They shared the day with the Old Westminsters when the two met in the league’s first double match-up, to make up the game postponed earlier in the year. Angel took the first game of the two, but the Westminsters responded to win the second.

At the bottom of the standings, the City of London Club won consecutive games against Kensington and Clapham to move level with Kensington in a tie for last, but ended the month one game behind again after a narrow loss to the Regents. It still appears that any one of four teams could take the inaugural championship, and by the end of July the season will be well into its second half and we should have a much clearer idea of where the championship trophy may be going come October.
