Once more unto the breach....

Week 17 was very much an on/off affair, so it all comes down to Week 18. Three divisions are either all done and dusted in terms of promotion/relegation, but five most de

Prem title race wide open

The most open premier league title race in years is coming to a fascinating conclusion. Four teams very much in the hunt. Plus, who will join Twickenham in going down? On

Teddington nudge back ahead

There was more topsy-turviness across the MCCL as a number of the top sides slipped up. Crouch End's sojourn at the top of the Prem lasted just the week, Harrow Town slip

Prem title race hots up

There is a new leader in the Prem. Teddington slip up, Crouch End pounce. In a day where top sides didn't have it all their own way, neither Harrow nor Eastcote win in Di

Ealing and Teddington march on....

The premier division league table is taking shape, but not perhaps in the way many anticipated. Ealing are flying, North Midd and Shay Boo are - on the face of it at leas

A premier division full of surprises

Rain tries to ruin things, but Hornsey, Stanmore and Finchley all dodge the showers to pull off wins against fancied opponents. The Prem really does continue to surprise.

New season, same old drama

Runs were generally the order of the day in Week 1 of the MCCL. Crouch End went (very) big, as did Highgate, Brentham and Isleworthians. Teddington win the battle of the

The MCCL season starts on Saturday 9 May. That can only mean one thing; it's time for Sal and Dan to do their prediction podcast. Will The Midd be able to defend their ti
