The Kent League record room

Everything established about the historical Kent League lives here: the unchanged 177-entry Explorer, recovered final tables and honours boards, 85 exact club spellings, season files and a register for what remains unresolved.

  • Honours explorer

    All 177 entries in one ledger, filterable by exact season, represented decade, club spelling and competition. Browse decades from the 1920s to the 2010s.

  • Recorded club index

    All 85 exact spellings from the source rolls, kept separate with derived league, cup-win and recorded runner-up counts.

  • Champions 1966–2013

    The complete divisional champions table — 47 seasons, every division named in the source, nothing extended beyond it.

  • League Cup winners since 1923

    84 season records including runners-up where recorded, plus the wartime and 1959–1968 gaps stated as gaps.

  • Honours boards

    Senior divisional champions, a separate 45-season top-two board, and reserve boards of 35, 9 and 35 seasons. Each collection keeps its own count and scope.

  • Recovered final tables

    33 season pages from 1980–81 to 2012–13. The preserved FCHD corpus contains 40 division tables and 668 rows; 30 pages use FCHD only. Official archived tables are selected for 2007–08, the two lower divisions in 2010–11, and both divisions in 2012–13.

  • League history

    The league’s structural story, using only what the record shows.

  • Club files

    Editorial files for Margate, Tunbridge Wells and Herne Bay beside the full 85-spelling index.

  • Season files

    All 86 represented seasons, with five deeper editorial files for the record’s closing years.

  • Kent derbies

    What the roll of honour shows about local rivalry — clearly labelled interpretation.

  • Kent non-league football

    Where the historical league sits, and who runs the county’s game today.

  • Missing Records

    What the restored core archive now covers, why 1974–75 to 1979–80 table images remain unreadable, which lower divisions are absent from the sources, and the separate supplemental research scope.

How these records are handled — claim classes, dating and correction rules — is set out in the methodology.
