South East Combination League


The South East Combination is the women's league that Cambridge Women who have recently settled at Ely's Unwin ground play in. The league is at the fourth level of women's football and is one of four combination leagues. The others being the South West, Midlands and Northern. The league which was formed in 1998 feeds directly into the Premier League Southern Division. The South East Combination is fed into by the Eastern Region League and the London and South East League.

The league is made up of 12 clubs. Along with Crystal Palace and Cambridge who we saw yesterday there are 10 other clubs: Arlesey Town, Brentwood Town, Chesham United, Chichester City, Ebbsfleet United, Enfield Town, Ipswich Town, Luton Town, MK Dons and Norwich City.

Last year's champions were Lewes LFC and the first club tom win the league were Wembley Mill Hill who have since merged with QPR. Of the teams currently playing in the league 4 have won the league before: Enfield in 2002; Crystal Palace in 2004; Ipswich in 2008 and Luton in 2009.

shirt history AS Roma

Roma were the club that I followed in Italy and although they are most famous for wearing red and yellow, hence the nickname giallo rosso the club didn't always wear those colours. AS Roma were formed in 1927 by a merger between SS Alba-Audace and Fortitudo-Pro Roma SGS with Italo Foschi being the driving force behind the merger. AS Roma could also trace their lineage back to FBC Roma who were formed in 1901 and who wore red and yellow, but the first shirts they wore took the red, white and blue of Fortitudo-Pro Roma. Roma soon established themselves at the top table of Italian football and in 1931 finished runners up to Juventus and by now had settled on red and yellow as their colours. However, you'll have to take my word for it because the picture below shows Attilio Ferraris in black and white. In 1942 Roma went one better and won their first Scudetto with Amadeo Amadei scoring 18 goals to help them secure the title. Pictured below he is wearing the change shirt with a repl

The first game that I will be at on Sunday sees Boca Juniors take on Paris Saint Germain. I have always wanted to go and see Boca Juniors and I can't see me getting over to Argentina any time in the near future, so I am going to have to make do with seeing them in North London. On my travels I have met plenty of Boca fans, but funnily enough they have all been Russian or Ukrainian. I am a bit disappointed that Martin Palermo has now retired, but I am still looking forward to it. Obviously to do justice to the club history of Boca Juniors I'd probably have to write a book, so here's a quick history of their kit and colours instead. When Boca were formed in 1905 they originally played in pink, but obviously came round to thinking that this was a bad idea and changed to a light blue colour later in the year. They didn't stick with this shirt for very long either and for the 3rd time in a year decided to change the shirt colour, this time to black and white stripes. The fol

Sud Tribune, Dortmund

Image
The Sud Tribune at Westfalen is famed for the noise and support that it gives the BVB team. They started up early and carried on until well after the match had finished despite the poor result. At the end the team looked suitably disappointed when they thanked the fans. Nobody apart from the Hannover fans probably expected 96 to win. Hopefully better times for the Sud Tribune are just around the corner.
