CHERRY RED BOOKS MIDDLESEX COUNTY LEAGUE CONSTITUTION FOR THE 2024/25 SEASON


As usual with the Middlesex County League there has been many clubs moving up, down and sideways across the divisions. The Step Seven Premier Division has FC Irish of London, SL Benfica and Soccer Star Fennecs moving upwards. 

It's great to see Sport London E Benfica, who spent time in the Spartan South Midlands League from 2007 to 2011, moving back up the divisions. The 2023/24 campaign was a sensational one of the club as they won Division One South & West, The Jim Rogers Division One Cup Final and Middlesex FA Junior Cup Final.

Egidio Mahmoud and Rafael Barbosa Dos Santos had stand out seasons with 27 (in 26 games) and 26 in 25 games respectively.  

Both FC Irish of London and Soccer Star Fennecs make their debut at Step Seven of the football pyramid for the 24/25 campaign.
