Season 2008–09

VCD Athletic take the Premier Division; the two lower divisions go to reserve sides, and the cup leaves the league’s heartland for Croydon.

Browse this exact season → All season files

The 2008–09 record gives the Premier Division to V C D Athletic — the club’s only recorded league championship — with Thamesmead Town reserves winning Division One for the sixth time in the record and Herne Bay reserves taking Division Two, a first sign of the Herne Bay strength that dominates the record’s closing seasons.

The cup final pairs two clubs from the record’s north-western edge: Croydon recorded as winners, Erith Town as runners-up — Erith Town having lifted the trophy themselves the season before.
