NEW LEAGUE: MIDDLESEX COUNTY LEAGUE

The Middlesex County League was not the idea of any individual club but rather the committee who select the Middlesex team for the County Championship. They are trying to encourage more players from the county and from the areas of the Metropolis taken from the county to join clubs. This is in an attempt to strengthen their team for the County Championship, although some would say that having won the last two championships it is not necessary. The league consists of three teams from the west of the county and three from the east. Although they are from small towns, these are in areas where the population is starting to grow as people move out of London, a trend which will surely only continue as time goes on.

From the west of the county come Ealing Dean, Isleworth Brewery and the Old Harrovians. Ealing Dean take their name from the former hamlet of that name, now grown into Ealing itself, where their home field has been built on a former gravel pit. They play in dark red, with dark green as a secondary colour. Isleworth’s team are the works team of the large brewery just outside the town and their jerseys are light brown in colour. The Old Harrovians are the old boys’ team of Harrow School, playing just across town from the school itself and using the school’s colour of blue for their team jerseys.

From the east of the county are Tottenham Lock, Enfield New River and Edmonton Green. Tottenham take their name from the lock on the River Lee Navigation which runs near to their home field. They play in yellow jerseys, with the team name embroidered in maroon. Enfield's name reflects the 'New River', which was built to supply water to London and which flows alongside their field. The blue of the river cutting through the green of the countryside is the inspiration for their striped jerseys. Edmonton Green are named after the old village green where the club’s founders met up before practice sessions. They now play just down the road from the green, but use the green colour for their jerseys.

LOGOS AND UNIFORMS:
Top Row (L-R): Ealing Dean, Edmonton Green, Enfield New River
Bottom Row (L-R): Isleworth Brewery, Old Harrovians, Tottenham Lock
