Breaking NDSFL news!

Shefford FC in discussions with West Berkshire County Council about a groundshare agreement at Fortress Northcroft.

Two newly elected clubs are bidding for a lucrative groundshare agreement with Shefford FC at their Fortress Northcroft home.

Details were leaked by the council when Asst Manager Shane Bellamy phoned up to enquire about booking a pitch for an upcoming friendly.

The unnamed source at the council said "Hold on, I've dropped my pen" but then went on to explain that The Lion are frontrunners for the groundshare given the pub's proximity to the ground. Shefford squads of old have been known to drink in The Lion after games, but as it's a bit minging and the new owners aren't as good as the old owners they don't tend to do that anymore.

The NDSFL were unavailable for comment as senior figures were hosting a Cub Scouts jamboree at a private residence at the time.

Oh, and it seems that there are no pitches readily available for friendlies with the possible exception of Bucklebury. Shefford's board have attempted to make contact with the necessary people to secure a booking...
