A Middlesex Mystery
: Created:30 Aug 2011 , byEaling has the Championship Board recording all the Middlesex County League winners since the Second World War but have our antecedents recorded them all?
The 1980-81 winners are not recorded on the board. The regular champions between 1979 and 1984 were Wood Green, today the mightiest team in the capital. Were Wood Green too lazy to record a mid-term victory or did someone else steal their crown for a brief year?
However much more worthy of a Dan Brown novel and subsequent film is the mysterious affair of the 1946-47 season victors if there were one? A sharp-eyed Ealing member hs spotted a gap on the board between the Middlesex plaque and the winners of the 1947-48 championship. There are marks suggesting that in past times there was a plaque in the gap.
Tom Hanks is getting on a bit now so I'm favouring Robert Pattinson in my role for the movie.
