Reading "Hornets"

The Reading "Hornets" list of players includes five surnames which also appear in the Reading Football Club list - Ewart, Henderson, Marks, Miller and Rogers. Games were usually played on different days of the week, so it is possible that there are players playing for both sides. However, there is no hard evidence to support this theory at the moment.
