NEW TEAMS: MIDDLESEX COUNTY LEAGUE
The first new team to join the Middlesex County League are Brentford Grand Junction, who take their name from the canal which joins the River Thames nearby. They play in yellow jerseys with their initials in pale blue. From Twickenham come the unusually named Strawberry Hill, whose name comes from the district in which they play, which was in turn named after a large mansion in the area. Strawberry Hill’s jerseys are brown with red and yellow stripes, and have a strawberry embroidered onto the chest.
For the first time in any league, the addition of two new teams in Middlesex has resulted in the schedule becoming shorter. The same format as we will see in Glasgow was proposed at a meeting of the clubs, but with five teams from the west of the county and only three from the east it was felt that the pairings would be uneven in distance and so the suggestion was not adopted. Instead, it was agreed to play just four full rounds of games for a total of twenty-eight, down from thirty last season.
