Lexton lent a pair of shorts to Dave Martin who promised to give them back.

You mean David Allen. Just checked with Lex and he said David Allen did give them back and they were put in the dirty kit bag.

That means seven of our players are keeping shorts for themselves...probably to use as casual wear in the hot weather.

It used to be 50 pence fine each for the culprits in the club rules but that is not mentioned on the website page.

Down to just 10 pairs of shorts now following the match Away to Cuffley on Sunday. Another three have gone missing.

That doesn't include the goalkeepers shorts/trousers, so basically anybody coming on as a sub will now have to swap shorts with whoever comes off.
