Like I said previously, I hadn't intended to cover this season but I'm back by popular demand.
The notes I'm working on are sketchier than ever. I can give you opponents, score and team - scorers, MVP and Spoons I have no idea.
We'll just go with what I've got for as long as I've got - starting in September...

Something else that happened this summer
We were hoping to change home grounds before the 2000/01 season.
We'd been based at Mannington throughout our Sunday existence but the standard of pitches and changing facilities weren't always the best.
We fancied a change and were interested in playing our home games at Ballard's Ash. It had good pitches, good changing rooms and car park and was close to our new club sponsor for the after game pint, sausage and chips gathering.
Here's where things get a bit hazy.
I think we had agreement from Wootton Bassett Council to take up a home pitch at Ballard's Ash but the Swindon Sunday league vetoed the move and we stayed at Mannington. (It might have been the other way round - it was 20 years ago.)
Either way, it was a blow. This decision (and terrible weather during the autumn) caused an unfortunate rift in our relationship with the new sponsors and ultimately put us on a slippery slope (metaphorically at least.)
