 5-2 win

  Corr brace and Marshall brace.....Pook with the other.

 Bit annoyed really....could have done with an aftenoon checking out Corr, can't be arsed to go to Hungerford.  The extra mileage probably did for Plymuff...

Really pissed off they've moved all the reserve games to Hungerford  >:(

If they're looking to save the pitch, they could've chosen somewhere more local eg Supermarine.

I enjoy watchin the reserves when not at work, and I'm sure a lot of youngsters and the ole boys will miss out.

F f s Hungerford isn't even in Wiltshire ! !  >:(

Pook scored! YAY!!

Tissues for Mr Fatbury, please!

 It very nearly is, a kilometre away from Wilts  and there's always been a bit of flexibility about county borders out there....Berks  has lost chunks to Wiltshire and Hampshire, around Inkpen and Shalbourne.

 I suppose Berks didn't mind to much as they gained the enclave of Wiltshire that was near Reading at Twyford

 

As long as Tadley stays in Hants, dont mind how much the berkshire borders change. Didn't know Inkpen had moved, when did that happen?

 Inkpen hasn't moved it's still in Berks...my mistake though Berks didn't lose a bit to Hants, it was the other way around...I knew there had been changes in the 19th Century, on checking, the land directly south of Inkpen Beacon...around the hamlet of Coombe, shifted from Hants to Berks.  Faccombe, I say.

Faccombe is to near Newbury for my liking and thoughts of that Greek prick still irk me.
Coming from Hagbourne and being transfered into South Poxfordshire never sat right for me either 

When's Corr due back?  Think we could have done with him last Saturday!

 I'm amazed that there was never  an uprising against the annexation of a huge chunk of Berks by O*fordshire. That it stole the birthplace of Alfred the Great was bad enough, but bringing the border into contact with Wiltshire was just unforgiveable

  Is that where he lives? I lived there for a bit when very young, after moving from the "Hood" of Compton.

I've got an old atlas (from 1965) and there seem to have been major changes.  Lancashire has a border with Cumberland (not Cumbria)...but Lancashire is split up bu the county of Westmoreland.  Flint (in Wales) appears to have been split into three (3!!!) parts...one part completely surrounded by the county of Denbigh.  Herefordshire and Worcestershire are separate.   Abingdon and Wantage are in Berkshire.  Huntingdon is also a county.

This post may have been of interest to only one person...let's hope they post on here and read this.

  1974 saw a major revision under the Heath Government....all done in teh name of efficiency....some of those changes were loathed, and have since been changed back.

  Others were just ignored locally....a classic was teh formation of the Borough of Thamesdown....now rightly dustbinned..

 

And we gained the bit of Wiltshire that used to be in Wokingham !

 That is the bit to which I refer, in the early part of the 19th Century, Wokingham was known as Oakingham.

 There was another enclave around Spencer Wood.

Plymuff didn't provide one senior player again - I'd say that's the reason we beat them comfortably again, as opposed to extra mileage.

 Well they must have some good youths, because we keep taking their cast offs like Tozer  Joyce and Morrison and they all look decent lads.

...and they had a good FA Youth Cup run last season. Also, Gosling emerged (but looked ordinary everytime I saw him) from their set-up to earn a contract at Everton... But our fringes and Corr are obviously better :)
