Margate in the record

What the record shows

The champions record opens with Margate: its reserve side takes the first two recorded titles, in 1966–67 and 1967–68, and reserve sides in the club’s name win Division Two again in 1989–90 and 2006–07. On the cup roll, Margate Reserves appear as winners as early as 1935–36.

The senior side’s recorded silverware is all knockout: League Cup wins in 1947–48, 1953–54 and 1968–69 — the last of those against Brett Sports in the first season the roll records a runner-up. That win sits in the same season the reserves’ league titles bracket, which says something about the club’s depth in the era.

Margate’s pattern in this record — strong reserves, senior cup success — is consistent with a club whose first team spent long spells at levels above the Kent League. This archive records only what its sources show and leaves the club’s wider history to the club.
