They existed before but have only been in the league for 2 or 3 years. There's a slight chance you played them for AFC Newbury before but I don't know the exact times. Before that they were still called Shalbourne but played in a different league so you might have played them in a Berks & Bucks cup or something. Shalbourne is miles away and I think it's in Hants or Wilts, but they applied to come in and had their paperwork in order and a big bank account so the league pretty much guaranteed that they would get voted in. Oi loiks organoised teams oi doos. Aaand they sleep with they cuzzins in Shalbyourne aaaand so doos oi so oi waaaants em in moi league.

I think Monny lost their keeper during the summer cos they were looking around for one - that can make quite a difference to a team, plus they may be the same as us and have played the top teams for the first few games. Haven't seen whether they've just lost or been thrashed.

Just to let you know, I've tried faxing a report through a couple of times today but I'm not sure it's going through properly, so there may not be a write up in the paper on Thursday, sorry to those of you who would have got a mention otherwise.
