Background:
The 50s team is made up of players from three clubs with not enough oldies yet to form their own team, Barely Athletic, Swift & Henleaze Corinthians plus other players picked up along the way. As this is too many names to shout on a pitch we use the acronym B.A.S.H. The 50s squad is managed by Henleaze which was the team from which the Casuals League was spawned and we still boast a player from that first game! We have a big squad but feel free to get in touch if you’d like to play and we’ll add you to the reserve list.

One of the eight founding teams of the league Easton Monday were formed by has-beens Chris Badley and Andy Purnell in 1995.
After spending early seasons rooted to the bottom of the league The Monday won the 3rd and 2nd Division titles in successive seasons (2003/04 and 2004/05).
Easton Monday then went on to be the first team (since records began) to win three BCL Div 1 titles. The first two came consecutively in 2006/07 and 2007/08 and completed the historic hat trick in 2009/10.
They had narrowly missed out on winning the Harry Mottram Cup in 2004, as beaten finalists, and missed out on the double the following season (2005) again, finishing as runners-up. They eventually lifted the trophy in the 2008/09 season.
Since then their ageing (mostly unchanged squad) has begun to show signs of wear and tear resulting in relegation to Div 2 in 2015. Some new blood bought a return to the top flight in 2017/18 season.
In a recent interview Club Chairman Colonel Purnell said “Whilst the new bunch of 35+ year olds strive for further trophies, the glory days for the ‘old guys’ may be behind us which is which is we formed EM95 (the year we helped to create the league) in order to continue in the Corinthian spirit and enjoy our BCL Sundays as long as we can.”
