The old league, kept on record
Kent League champions from 1966 to 2013 and League Cup winners since 1923, kept openly with named sources — alongside practical care for the grass pitches the county’s game is still played on.
Two jobs, one line
The record room
The Kent League’s divisional champions are verified for 47 seasons, from 1966–67 to 2012–13, and the League Cup roll of honour holds 84 season records reaching back to 1923–24. Where a record has not been verified — reserve-section honours, full final tables — the archive says so plainly rather than filling the gap.
- Champions 1966–2013 — the complete divisional table.
- League Cup winners since 1923 — winners, runners-up and the seasons with no competition.
- Honours boards — division by division, including the honest gaps.
- Club files — Margate, Tunbridge Wells and Herne Bay so far.
The grounds notebook
The same care the old grounds needed, written for the volunteers doing it now: month-by-month maintenance, equipment decisions, waterlogging and drainage, all tied to dated national guidance.
