Missing-record register

Four gaps in the Kent League record

The legacy ledger confirms that pages for these records existed, while the surviving structured sources do not supply complete lists that can be published here. This register brings together what can be established now, what remains unknown and the material that would help.

Record status: incomplete

A legacy URL ledger shows that the historical Kent League site carried separate pages for reserve-section winners and final tables. The available structured records cover divisional champions and the main League Cup, not complete versions of the four records below. Nearby examples are included only to show what the present sources do contain.

Reserves First Division honours

Known now

A dedicated Reserves First Division winners page existed. Separately, the verified champions data contains 12 Division One title entries naming reserve sides, from 1998–99 to 2012–13. Examples include Deal Town reserves (1998–99), Thamesmead Town reserves (1999–00), Thamesmead Town reserves (2000–01). These are Division One entries in the current source, not a recovered Reserves First Division list.

Still missing

The reserve section’s own season-by-season winners, its complete span and any changes to the competition name or structure.

Evidence that could close the gap

League handbooks, annual reports, contemporary newspaper round-ups or a readable capture of the complete winners page, with enough surrounding material to identify the season and competition.

Reserves Second Division honours

Known now

The legacy ledger also records a Reserves Second Division winners page. The separate champions source contains 29 Division Two title entries naming reserve sides. Its first such entry is Medway reserves in 1978–79; its last is Phoenix Sports reserves in 2011–12. They show reserve sides in the main divisional record, but do not identify winners of the Reserves Second Division.

Still missing

A complete list of Reserves Second Division winners, the seasons in which the division operated and any official gaps or reorganisations.

Evidence that could close the gap

A run of league handbooks, club programmes quoting the final reserve standings, contemporary press summaries or a complete archived winners list whose heading and date are visible.

Reserves Cup

Known now

The historical site had a page titled “Reserves Cup ex winners”. The main League Cup source is a different competition, but it records 6 wins by teams named as reserves among its 84 season records. Examples include Folkestone Reserves (1928–29), Folkestone Reserves (1929–30), Gillingham Reserves (1930–31). Those senior cup entries do not establish any Reserves Cup winner.

Still missing

The Reserves Cup winners, finalists, season span, scorelines and seasons when the competition may not have been played.

Evidence that could close the gap

Final programmes, presentation-night records, league handbooks, contemporary match reports or a readable archive capture that identifies the reserve competition rather than the main League Cup.

Final league tables

Known now

The historical site published non-active all-division tables. The champions source identifies first place across 47 seasons, from 1966–67 to 2012–13, and the champions table publishes those entries. A champion name does not provide the rest of a final table.

Still missing

Complete positions below first, played and won-drawn-lost totals, goals, points, deductions and explanatory notes for each division and season.

Evidence that could close the gap

Complete end-of-season tables from league handbooks or contemporary newspapers, or readable archived pages that retain headings, column labels, all rows and any notes.

Prepare an evidence packet

Record the exact competition, season and name exactly as shown. Add the source title, publisher and date, plus a page image or transcription with surrounding context. Keep the original file and your notes together, and retain the packet locally so provenance is not lost if a link or hosted image disappears.

Direct submissions are currently closed: there is no public mailbox or form. The current status is maintained on the corrections page; that link is a status check, not a promise that material can be sent now.

The complete records currently available are the divisional champions and the main League Cup roll.
